Wisconsin top class of 2026 cornerback target Victor Singleton included the Badgers in his final batch of schools on Friday.
Luke Fickell’s program was listed alongside Missouri, Tennessee, Michigan, Ohio State, Kentucky, Penn State, Oregon, Nebraska and Texas A&M.
Over 20 college programs have extended an offer to Singleton thus far, per 247Sports. Those include Pittsburgh, Mississippi State, Louisville, Illinois, Iowa and Cincinnati.
247Sports considers the 6-foot, 160-pound cornerback the No. 45 overall recruit, No. 4 cornerback and No. 2 recruit from Ohio for the class of 2026. If Wisconsin were able to land the dynamic playmaker, he would emerge as one of Fickell’s most impressive recruiting victories for the class of 2026.
Wisconsin extended its offer to Singleton on Mar. 11, 2024, roughly two months before Singleton’s offers began to balloon. He represents Central Catholic High School in Toledo, Ohio, and is considered a four-star by On3, ESPN, 247Sports and Rivals.

Both 247Sports and On3 project the top cornerback to land at Ohio State. On3’s recruiting prediction machine has the Buckeyes with a 94.9% chance to secure his commitment. 247Sports Ohio State insider Bill Kurelic made a crystal ball prediction in July favoring the Buckeyes as well.
Still, Wisconsin’s inclusion is more than notable. It will now compete with some of the most prestigious programs in the country to land one of the nation’s most promising players.
