The Badgers have landed their first commitment for the 2026 class with quarterback Jarin Mock. He announced his intentions Saturday night on social media.

The 6'3" quarterback out of Ohio chose the Badgers over offers from Miami (OH), Massachusetts, Central Michigan and Marshall. Wisconsin is his only Power Four school offer so far, but Mock still has two more years of high school ball to develop. He is currently unrated in national rankings.

Mock is the first commitment for Luke Fickell and the Badgers for 2026. Quarterback Braedyn Locke's younger brother, Landyn is a commitment of the 2025 class as the Badgers fill out the quarterback room of the future.

The Badgers recently offered tight end Lincoln Watkins of the 2026 class and hopefully more commitments start to filter in after Mock.
