Another big weekend of official visits for Wisconsin football
Here's who and what to keep tabs on.
One of the University of Wisconsin football program’s key targets visiting this weekend is “a late bloomer,” according to his football coach. But he’s already a four-star 2027 recruit with notable Power Four suitors pursuing him.
Yahzeen Zion, who plays for Goodyear Desert Edge in Arizona, is one of the players in Madison this weekend for Wisconsin’s second set of official visits. It’s a smaller group of recruits compared to the 19 who made it to town a week ago. Six were anticipated as of Friday morning, but the Badgers’ staff hopes for continued momentum to start the month of June. Four players have announced verbal commitments since Sunday, which included four-star defensive back Mekhi Williams.
Among those new commits also included Zion’s teammate at Goodyear Desert Edge, linebacker Nathan Jones.
Zion released his top five schools last month, which included Miami, Oklahoma, LSU, Florida and Wisconsin.
“He was more of a basketball kid, so his recruiting kind of started late. But Yahzeen to me, is the most talented interior defensive lineman I’ve ever seen at the high school level in Arizona in person, whether playing for us or anybody else,” Goodyear Desert Edge football coach Henri MacArthur said.
