The Wisconsin football team is gearing up for a big official visit weekend on May 28-31, with 15 top prospects scheduled to attend. The latest addition to the list is Will Zaccagnino, an unranked defensive lineman from Connecticut. The Badgers are hoping to replicate their success from last year's first official visit weekend, when they landed 10 commitments out of 15 visitors.

Why it matters

Official visit weekends are crucial for college football programs to land their top targets early in the recruiting cycle. Wisconsin has had success with this approach in the past, and they're looking to do the same with their 2027 class by hosting a loaded group of prospects on their first big visit weekend.

The details

The Badgers are hosting a number of highly-touted prospects over the May 28-31 weekend, including 4-star running back Kingston Allen, 4-star cornerback Raheem Floyd, 4-star quarterback Jack Sorgi, and 4-star offensive lineman Jakari Lipsey. Current 2027 commits Korz Loken, Isaac Miller, Ethan McIntosh, and Dustin Roach will also be in attendance, helping to recruit the other visitors.

  • The official visit weekend is scheduled for May 28-31, 2026.
  • Last year, the Badgers hosted 15 players over their first official visit weekend and landed 10 commitments.
