Luke Fickell sets an official visit with top receiver Bardo
Wisconsin has begun to set their official visits for this summer and now lock in three-star receiver Bardo. The 6-foot, 180-pound receiver has offers from Indiana, Michigan State, Louisville and more and will have a busy summer before narrowing down his finalists. He also has official visits set with Vanderbilt and Cincinnati. Bardo had 33 catches for 540 yards and eight touchdowns this past season.
If the name looks familiar, it's because newly appointed Badgers wide receivers coach Jordan Reid has already had a home visit with Bardo, and the unusual night went viral. The two played a game of College Football 25 on Playstation, and let's just say Bardo won very easily. He then posted the lopsided result online to the amusement of his followers.
The 2026 class currently sits at just one commitment in offensive lineman Benjamin Novak after Wisconsin pulled their offer from quarterback Jarin Mock. There's still plenty of time, however, and this summer should see that total number jump. Bardo would be a nice add to the receiving room and a good start to the 2026 class.
