Badgers Pounce on Penn State’s Discarded Stars
The Wisconsin Badgers wasted no time targeting Penn State recruits who decommitted after James Franklin’s firing. Luke Fickell’s staff extended offers to three-star DB Julian Peterson, safety Darrell Carey, and wideout Lavar Keys—players who abruptly reopened their recruitment. Carey, a Top 30 safety, had committed in April but reopened when Penn State moved on. Keys, a speedy 5-foot-9 receiver, visited Indiana and plans a Maryland trip. Wisconsin now vies for impact players left unclaimed by Penn State’s shake-up, hoping to bolster its 2026 class as other Big Ten contenders circle.
Move over ghost hunters—Luke Fickell’s Badgers are on the prowl for recruiting specters abandoned by Penn State! In a supernatural twist of coaching ousting, these players found themselves orphaned mid-recruitment and Wisconsin swooped in like benevolent soccer parents at a rec soccer meltdown. It’s like musical chairs, but the music is James Franklin’s contract termination, and every seat suddenly belongs to Wisconsin. Will these wayward talents sign on and turn Camp Randall into a Big Ten ghost town for Penn State, or will they haunt other campuses first? Stay tuned—campus tours have never looked so spooky.
Three Powerhouses Wrestle for Top RB of 2026
Four-star running back Amari Latimer remains committed to Wisconsin but is entertaining official visits to Tennessee and visits Ohio State and Miami while the Badgers struggle on the field. Latimer, a Top 20 RB in the nation, took his official summer visit in Madison but was spotted wearing Buckeyes sleeves during a high school game. With Ohio State, Tennessee, and Miami in hot pursuit, retaining his pledge will be one of Luke Fickell’s most critical recruiting battles. Latimer’s dominant senior season makes him highly coveted, and Wisconsin aims to fend off top competition for the 2026 class.
In a scene more dramatic than a soap-opera football fallout, young Amari Latimer is treating college commitments like speed dating. He kisses the Badgers’ ring one weekend and flashes Ohio State flair the next—romantic! Meanwhile, Miami and Tennessee are sending roses and sweet texts. Luke Fickell’s job now resembles that of a desperate prom date, begging for just one more dance. Can Wisconsin keep its star RB from ghosting them in favor of bigger stadium lights? It’s college recruiting or The Bachelor: Stadium Edition.
