MADISON, Wis. — Korz Loken worked with his future collegiate position coach this weekend, but that wasn’t exactly set in stone until recently.

It may have been only a couple days ago, according to Loken, that he asked tight ends coach Nate Letton if he should attend the University of Wisconsin football program’s final summer camp Sunday. Loken’s not the first commit to participate in a Wisconsin camp this summer, as offensive linemen Ethan McIntosh, Cole Reiter and Hunter and Reece Mallinger were in town last Sunday to work with Badgers assistants Eric Mateos and Casey Rabach.

So there was Loken, one of the consensus four-star recruits in the Badgers’ 2027 class, among approximately 175 high school players inside Camp Randall Stadium.

“I just really wanted to come out here and be able to work with coach Letton,” Loken said. “Allow him to kind of coach me up and shape me up to where he’s gonna want me to be when I get here, and then just compete, you know?

“I love to compete, so coming out here, being able to catch some great balls from some good quarterbacks, and face some really good DBs and linebackers. Super fun, and I’m really glad I came.”
