Wisconsin’s 2022 class has now officially begun to take shape. After bat signals from the staff, the Badgers alerted us that a 2022 commit was coming.
The first commit in the Badger class of 2022 (if you don’t count signee Braelon Allen who reclassified to 2021) is Myles Burkett, a QB out of Franklin High School in Wisconsin. Burkett is a three-star dual-threat prospect according to both Rivals and 247Sports, and is seen by both websites as the top 2022 QB in the Badger State.

Once a Wisconsin offer came Burkett’s way this month, it was an opportunity he could not pass up. “I’ve gone to Badger games all my life, I’ve got a bunch of red and white gear at my house, and I played on the Badgers pee wee team in 2nd and 3rd grade,” Burkett told BadgersWire back in a “Locked On Badgers” podcast interview.
“I am definitely a homer, I definitely have a soft spot for Wisconsin. Ive been a Wisconsin fan my whole life. An opportunity at Wisconsin is a hard opportunity to say no to.”
The dual-threat QB had offers from Bowling Green, Central Michigan, and Northern Illinois among others while also receiving serious interest from Louisville. He was recently named the captain of Franklin football for his upcoming senior season, as his team gets ready for 2021.
Congrats to our captains for next year. We are in great hands.
