Wisconsin football is in a week-long process of bringing its priority recruits to campus. These official visits go a long way to forming next season's roster and the 2027 recruiting class. There should be even a string of commitments that come from these next few weekends. There may also be a few flips.

Luke Fickell has three players he's working to flip from other commitments. The Badgers actually could have four as one of their visits; Tyler Graham chose Duke over the weekend. He is scheduled to visit this coming weekend (June 6), but that may be called off now. Depending on how likely a flip could be for the Badgers.

However, there are three known committed players coming to Wisconsin to check out Madison and consider if they should flip to the Badgers. Heres' the three priority flips that Fickell is working on.

Mekhi Williams - DB - 4-star Florida State commit

Williams is on campus this weekend (May 30) and is posting up a storm on X about his time there. He really has a good chance of being a flip. He's not a new target either; Robert Steeples and Paul Haynes have been working hard to get him to come and change his commitment. He's one of the best safeties in the nation and a top player in all of Florida.

Chuck Alexander - WR - 4-star Louisville commit

Alexander committed to Louisville back in November, but that hasn't stopped him from setting up visits. He is on Louisville's campus this weekend but heads to Wisconsin in two weeks (June 12) and then South Carolina (June 19) after that. It's hard to get a good feel for where Alexander is in his decision, but the fact that he's coming to visit is big for Fickell.

Alexander as a top-50 WR in the country and a top-15 player in Ohio by 24/7 Sports.

Brody Pfannenstiel - Edge - 3-star Texas Tech commit

Finally, we have Pfannenstiel, who has been committed to Texas Tech since March. sWisconsin coach Matt Mitchell pushed to still get him to Madison, and he's coming next week. There's some strong hope among the staff and the fanbase that Wisconsin can actually pull this flip off. He would be a big addition to the defensive line and the pass rush, especially as he develops at the college level.
