Wisconsin had an incredible recruiting weekend. The Badgers were able to put themselves at the top of the list for some of their most important targets. Head coach Luke Fickell also landed three different commitments, with many more close behind.
One of the top targets that Fickell would love to haul in is 4-star wide receiver Jayden Petit, who is one of the best receivers in the nation. This is already his second time on campus and checking out Wisconsin, which is a great sign. He's said to have the Badgers high on his list, which features over 32 offers.
Tayshon Bardo is working hard to get both Jayden Petit and Zachary Washington to commit to the Badgers
Outside of the coaching staff, the person working the hardest to recruit him to Wisconsin is Tayshon Bardo, a fellow 2026 recruit and already a Wisconsin commit. He is also working on Zachary Washington.
In the pictures Petit posted, you can see a trio of potentially future Wisconsin wide receivers. Tayshon Bardo is already in the fold, but Petit and Washington are still considering. Washington is a 3-star wide receiver from Wheaton, Illinois. He also seems to be high on the Badgers and may be close to a decision.
Washington's mom seems to be in favor of the Wisconsin commitment; she posted on her social media about these three being a trio in the Badgers uniform after this weekend.
If the Badgers were somehow able to pull down all three of these big-play threats, there may truly not be a better 2026 wide receiver recruiting class than Wisconsin. That would be three top playmakers in the class, and Luke Fickell is even working to bring in a former Ole Miss commit.
The Wisconsin Badgers have been on fire lately in recruiting, and June could end up being a pivotal month for their 2026 class and, thus, the future of the program.
