Wisconsin has never been known as the hot spot for five-star recruits in college football. The Badgers have built a program off of walk-on development, three-star talent that develops into five-star talent, and a culture that goes back to the days of Barry Alvarez patrolling the sidelines.
That doesn’t mean that, especially recently, the Badgers haven’t pulled in some major recruiting wins. This program has taken a serious turn in its recruiting over the past decade, culminating in its best class of all time in 2021. So, who are the best recruits of all time to sign in Madison, Wisconsin?
For the reasons above, multiple players on this list are current Badgers or haven’t even played a snap of Wisconsin football. Regardless of their eventual performance on the field and strictly focusing on their profile as recruits, here is a look at the “Mount Rushmore” of Badger football recruiting.
