National Signing Day has arrived, marking an important milestone in college football recruiting. This year, the Wisconsin Badgers are focusing on finalizing their 2026 recruiting class. Despite facing some challenges, the Badgers have managed to secure several key commitments.

- Keeyshawn Tabuteau – The wide receiver’s surprising move from Vanderbilt adds depth to the Badgers’ receiving corps.

- Zion Legree – This four-star wide receiver previously decommitted from Ole Miss before signing with Wisconsin.
- Djidjou Bah – An early evaluation led to his commitment, despite fleeting interests from other programs.

Amari Latimer Update
As National Signing Day progresses, the spotlight is on Amari Latimer. Wisconsin faces stiff competition from Miami and West Virginia in their efforts to secure his commitment. Latimer’s decision remains uncertain, and a prolonged wait raises concerns for the Badgers, especially after missing out on key running back prospects last year.
Wisconsin’s Strategy on Signing Day
Head coach Luke Fickell is actively monitoring recruitment activities and will address the media today around 1:00 p.m. The Badgers aim to mitigate the impact of recent decommits and strengthen their roster with these strategic signings.
