Primary recruiter(s) in the state: Florida could be a team effort for the Badgers under head coach Luke Fickell. But with Wisconsin's history of getting defensive backs from the state, it wouldn't be surprising to see Paul Haynes and Colin Hitschler down there more often.

Number of Florida athletes on the current roster (including the 2023 class): 4

Number of known offers extended in Florida in 2024 class: 16

Hotspot: American Heritage High School (Plantation), St. Thomas Aquinas
