The Wisconsin Badgers have already secured commitments from 7 in-state players for their 2027 recruiting class, which has them ranked in the top 15 nationally. However, top commit Korz Loken believes the class is still missing a key piece - 4-star running back Kingston Allen from Green Bay's Notre Dame Academy, who is ranked as a top 10 RB in the country.

Why it matters

Wisconsin has traditionally built its program around in-state talent, and landing Allen would be a major coup for the Badgers as they look to continue their success. Allen is the #2 player in Wisconsin and would be a valuable addition to an already strong 2027 class.

The details

After a strong start to April, the Wisconsin Badgers now have seven players committed to their class of 2027. The addition of the Mallinger twins was key, helping Wisconsin jump into the top 15 recruiting classes nationally. However, top commit Korz Loken believes the class is still 'missing' a key piece - 4-star running back Kingston Allen from Green Bay's Notre Dame Academy, who is ranked as a top 10 RB in the country. Allen has a visit to Wisconsin scheduled for May 29, and the Badgers are hoping to wrap up his commitment before then.

  • Wisconsin has 7 players committed to their 2027 recruiting class as of early April 2026.
  • Allen has a visit to Wisconsin scheduled for May 29, 2026.

What they’re saying

“Missing one... @KingstonAllen17”

— Korz Loken, Top Wisconsin 2027 commit

What’s next

If Allen does not commit before his May 29 visit, Loken and the rest of the Badgers' 2027 class will be eagerly awaiting his decision.

The takeaway

Wisconsin's 2027 recruiting class is shaping up to be one of the best in the program's history, but landing 4-star RB Kingston Allen would be the final piece to cement their status as a top national recruiting power.
