The Wisconsin Badgers are pursuing 4-star quarterback recruit Jack Sorgi, who is currently committed to Louisville. Sorgi is the son of former Badgers quarterback Jim Sorgi, who won a Super Bowl with the Indianapolis Colts. Wisconsin is hoping to flip Sorgi, a Top 200 national recruit, to continue his family's legacy in Madison.
Why it matters
Wisconsin is looking to rebuild its football program under new head coach Luke Fickell, and landing a top quarterback recruit like Jack Sorgi would be a major boost. Sorgi's family ties to the Badgers program add an extra layer of significance, as Wisconsin tries to leverage its history and tradition to attract elite talent.
The details
Jack Sorgi, a 4-star quarterback from Tri-West Hendricks High School in Indiana, is currently committed to Louisville. However, Wisconsin is making a strong push to flip him and add him to their 2027 recruiting class. Sorgi is the son of former Badgers quarterback Jim Sorgi, who was the backup to Peyton Manning when the Colts won Super Bowl XLI. The younger Sorgi is ranked as the 15th best QB in the 2027 class and a Top 200 player overall. He threw for 2,911 yards and 31 touchdowns as a junior.
- Sorgi committed to Louisville in the summer of 2025.
- Sorgi visited Wisconsin in January 2026.
- Sorgi plans to return to Wisconsin for another visit in the summer of 2026.
The players
Jack Sorgi
A 4-star quarterback recruit from Tri-West Hendricks High School in Indiana who is currently committed to Louisville, but is being heavily recruited by Wisconsin.
Jim Sorgi
Jack Sorgi's father, who was the backup quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts when they won Super Bowl XLI. He was also the starting quarterback at Wisconsin from 2003-2004.
Luke Fickell
The head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers, who is leading the effort to flip 4-star quarterback recruit Jack Sorgi from Louisville to Wisconsin.
What’s next
The next step for Fickell and Wisconsin is getting the younger Sorgi back on campus in the spring and setting an official visit for the summer. They still have plenty of time to flip the legacy recruit on the prospects of following in his father's footsteps and helping turn around the Badgers program.
The takeaway
Wisconsin's pursuit of 4-star quarterback Jack Sorgi, the son of former Badgers star Jim Sorgi, highlights the program's efforts to rebuild through recruiting elite talent with family ties to the university. Flipping Sorgi from Louisville would be a major coup for Luke Fickell as he looks to restore Wisconsin to national prominence.
