Wisconsin football top-ranked class of 2025 quarterback target Carter Smith picked up a Rivals’ FutureCast to the Badgers on Friday.
The prediction arrives shortly after Smith announced his plans to visit UW during its game against No. 1 Oregon on Nov. 16. The forecast comes from Rivals’ Wisconsin insider Jon McNamara.
Smith recently reopened his recruitment after de-committing from Michigan’s 2025 cohort. The four-star quarterback committed to the Wolverines’ program back in Nov. 2023 before head coach Jim Harbaugh made the move to the NFL.
Rivals considers the Fort Myers, Florida native as the No. 95 player in the class of 2025, No. 4 quarterback in the class and No. 23 prospect from Florida. Outside Wisconsin, Smith has recovered offers from top programs such as Miami-FL, Ole Miss, Penn State, Texas A&M, Louisville and Florida.
While the Rivals’ forecasts is promising for Badgers’ fans as Luke Fickell and Phil Longo look to add premium talent at the position.
Wisconsin’s class of 2025 currently sits at No. 28 in the nation after recently flipping DL Drayden Pavey from Purdue. Smith’s acquisition would certainly elevate that ranking and provide some clarity on who could lead Wisconsin’s quarterback room in the future.
