Wisconsin commit Zach Kinziger is up to No. 67 in the latest ESPN100 ranking for the class of 2025.
The top-ranked shooting guard has been on a steady rise over the last 11 months after committing to Wisconsin back in August of 2023.

The De Pere, Wisconsin is also ranked as a four-star by 247Sports, specifically as the No. 132 overall player in the class of 2025 and No. 20 shooting guard. He is also ranked firmly within Rival’s top 150.
His recent rise in ESPN, 247Sports and Rivals’ national recruiting rankings all come after a fantastic season of summer showcase events with De Pere High School and Team Herro. Kinziger just recently led his school to a 5-0 record at the WBY Tournament in Kaukauna, Wisconsin, and took home All-Tournament honors for his performance.

The 6’3,” 175-pound shooting guard projects to provide a significant boost to a Wisconsin program that is in need of a strong run of regular season and postseason play.
The 2024-25 team has expectations to begin that stretch, though the forward-looking outlook focuses on class of 2024 point guard Daniel Freitag and Kinziger to help lead that charge.
The talented shooting guard has pushed Wisconsin’s class of 2025 up to No. 7 in the nation at this early stage in the cycle. He and three-star center Will Garlock are the class’ two commitments at the moment.
Other notable inclusions in the latest ESPN100 include Wisconsin top target combo guard Davion Hannah at No. 30 and top-ranked in-state small forward Xzavion Mitchell (Iowa State commit) at No. 68.
Wisconsin’s class of 2025 is still searching for a few more splashes before the recruiting cycle comes to an end next year.
