Wisconsin football's hosting plenty of 4-star talent for 'Bucky's BBQ' this weekend
Summer recruiting continues for the Badgers with some standout 2028 targets coming to Madison.
The University of Wisconsin football program’s busy summer start continues this weekend, but this time it’s looking to impress recruits in an upcoming class.
Coach Luke Fickell and the Badgers staff just completed two consecutive weekends of official visits that have resulted in eight verbal commitments for its 2027 class, and the program now has 22 commits total for this recruiting cycle. The only 2027 recruit now expected in town for an official visit this weekend is Jack Tabbert, the offensive lineman from in-state Pewaukee who flipped from North Dakota State to Wisconsin after his performance at camp Sunday.
But the program will host several highly-regarded 2028 recruits for its “Bucky’s BBQ” event that it’s been holding annually. Here’s who’s slated to be in Madison as of Saturday morning.
A key quarterback target anticipated on campus
Wisconsin’s hosted Matthew Lee (Wilmette Loyola, Illinois) previously, which included an unofficial visit for an April spring practice. Lee’s a three-star recruit who’s the No. 24 quarterback in the nation for the 2028 class by 247Sports.
He’s announced Power Four offers from Kansas State, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
