Wisconsin is known to enter recruits’ radar early, sometimes before they receive another Power Five offer.
That was the case just last week with Cade Yacamelli. Wisconsin offered the athlete before other big-name programs entered his radar and Yacamelli didn’t take long to commit to Paul Chryst and his program.
It was also the story with talented quarterbacks Graham Mertz and Deacon Hill. Wisconsin offered them early in their high school careers, their recruiting profiles then skyrocketed and it was the Badgers in the end that earned commitments.
Yesterday, it looks like the Badgers tried to do the same thing as they offered class of 2023 linebacker Tyler Jansey.
Awesome day in Wisconsin. Madison is a special place. After an amazing talk with Coach Chryst and Coach Bostad, I am extremely honored and thankful to receive an offer from the University of Wisconsin. #OnWisconsin ⚪️🔴 pic.twitter.com/KQQfHmA7tR

Jansey is unranked by 247Sports and only holds offers from Eastern Illinois and Western Michigan.
Despite no ranking on 247Sports, though, the Batavia, Illinois native is listed by PrepRedzone.com as Illinois’ No. 3-ranked player in the class of 2023 and No. 1 linebacker.
We’ll see if their early interest pays off as the 2023 recruiting cycle heats up throughout the year.
