Luke Fickell has finally flipped 4-star quarterback Jack Sorgi from the Louisville Cardinals. It's been a work in progress since he committed to Louisville. With gradual steps and indications, he was leaning towards Wisconsin the whole time. Yet, it took until the end of April for Sorgi to finally give his commitment to the Badgers.
This is a big win in the legacy recruiting department. Sorgi is the son of former Wisconsin quarterback Jim Sorgi, who played for the Badgers in the early 2000s. He went on to have an NFL career backing up Peyton Manning for the Colts.

The wild part of this 2027 recruiting class is that every player hails from Wisconsin. Sorgi is the lone exception as he's from Indiana. Yet, because he's a legacy recruit, it also feels like he's from Wisconsin. It's a top-20 recruiting class according to 24/7 Sports, and yet it's built entirely on the backs of in-state and now legacy recruit(s).
This is the first quarterback in the 2027 recruiting class, and Sorgi is an important one. Not simply because he's a legacy recruit but because he's a great quarterback in his own right. As a junior, he was a 61% passer with 2,911 yards and 31 touchdowns while also throwing 14 interceptions. He has the ability to scramble, and in the same season, he rushed 40 times for 156 yards with two touchdowns.
Sorgi was an early commit to Louisville and made the decision quickly after Jeff Brohm offered. However, as more attention and offers from Wisconsin, Arkansas, and Memphis came in, Sorgi went back to the drawing board about where he wanted to go. He decommitted in March, which is when many Wisconsin fans thought he would make the flip, but he continued to mull all his options. It was May that he finally decided to carry on the Wisconsin legacy that his dad started.
