Four-star recruit Gregory Patrick has narrowed his search down to nine schools he announced on social media.
The Badgers making the cut is exciting news as Patrick is the 13th ranked offensive tackle in the 2026 class and 155th overall according to 247Sports. The Michigan native will decide between Wisconsin, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Michigan, Minnesota, Michigan State, Penn State, Oklahoma and Alabama.
Wisconsin will face some competition for the lineman, namely from Michigan State as Patrick's father played for the Spartans.
The 2026 class was kicked off earlier this week as quarterback Jarin Mock was the first to commit to the Badgers. Commitments will slowly start to roll in for 2026 as the Badgers ramp up their recruiting for the class and 2025 slows.
