Luke Fickell going all-in to flip 4-star Wisconsin legacy bound for Louisville

Luke Fickell has been working overtime to convince a legacy recruit to flip from Louisville and come to Wisconsin, where his dad played and developed to become an NFL quarterback. Jack Sorgi, currently, though, has his verbal commitment solidified for the Louisville Cardinals. However, Fickell is hoping that the younger Sorgi will follow in his father, Jim Sorgi's, footsteps and become a Wisconsin Badger.

According to 24/7 Sports, Sorgi is a 4-star composite quarterback out of Lizton, Indiana. While his dad played for Wisconsin, Jim ultimately spent most of his playing career in Indiana as part of the NFL, where he was a signal caller for the Indianapolis Colts. So, Jim raised his son Jack in Indiana.

Sorgi only has two offers, according to both 24/7 Sports and Rivals: Louisville and Wisconsin. Yet, the 2027 recruit is considered one of the best quarterbacks out of Indiana. And a top-25 quarterback in the entire country.

Wisconsin is hoping to get him to be part of their 2027 class, and fans are hoping to see another Sorgi under center for the Badgers. It would be a win-win, but Fickell still has some work to do to convince him to flip from Louisville to Wisconsin.

Jim Sorgi played for Wisconsin from 2000 to 2003, throwing for 4,475 yards and 33 touchdowns. He was then drafted in the 6th round of the NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. He is most known for that part of his NFL career because he was the primary backup to Peyton Manning and would get plenty of attention when he would have to come in after Manning was injured.

After his career in Indianapolis, he was scheduled to be the backup behind the other Manning, Eli, for the New York Giants, but ended up going on IR instead after injuring his shoulder.
