Below is the fourth look at what a perfect recruiting class could look like for Wisconsin in 2024. A perfect class doesn't necessarily mean landing all the top players UW has offered. It is more realistic than that - it fills needs and gives fans the stars they desperately want. This is the best case scenario with players the Badgers have a legitimate chance with.

Nineteen scholarship seniors are projected to graduate at the end of the 2023 season, but it's difficult to project how many spots will open up with a COVID year still available to veterans on the current roster.

New offensive coordinator Phil Longo landed a commitment from four-star Mabrey Mettauer on Dec. 24. Securing a pledge from Mettauer so early in the recruiting process put a leader in place and has allowed him to work on other offensive weapons in this cycle. As a junior, Mettauer passed for 2,621 yards and 29 touchdowns while adding nine scores on the ground.

The Badgers will likely keep lines of communication open with other quarterbacks in this class, but the staff landed their top priority in Mettauer.

Others considered: N/A

First-year position coach Devon Spalding has a number of intriguing prospects on his list this spring. Darrion Dupree, who will return to Madison this weekend, is likely atop the board. But Jaedon Matthews, a three-star back from Arizona who was on campus last weekend, isn't far behind. That one-two punch would give the Badgers two dynamic athletes in the backfield.

Others considered: Gideon Ituka, Nate Palmer, Da'Jaun Riggs, Dilin Jones
