As of July 11, Wisconsin's class of 2026 ranks No. 49 in the nation and No. 15 in the Big Ten with 15 players committed. Four-star wide receiver Jayden Petit and four-star running back Amari Latimer impacted the program's national standing in late June. Still, UW's failure to secure additional commitments has left it in need of some new talent.

Safety Nick Reddish of Charlotte, N.C. announced his commitment late Friday afternoon, choosing Notre Dame during a special live event at his high school. Reddish narrowed his choice down to four finalists, including Virginia Tech where his two brothers play, Indiana, Wisconsin and Notre Dame.

Independence safety Nick Reddish for Notre Dame, the 2026 recruiting class is quickly solidifying. There is only a couple of remaining targets on the board, and head coach Marcus Freeman and the Fighting Irish staff has a chance to solidify a tremendous overall group.
