With Wisconsin currently holding 20 commitments in the rising senior cycle, BadgerBlitz.com takes a look at what's ahead in the eighth edition of the State of the 2024 Class, which runs on the first of each month.
QUARTERBACKS
How many will they take? Wisconsin is expected to take one quarterback in the 2024 class.
Who do they already have? The Badgers have a commitment from four-star quarterback Mabrey Mettauer.
Scholarship senior(s): Tanner Moredecai
What's next?
Wisconsin rode its recruiting momentum from the early signing period right into the 2024 class with a commitment from Mettauer on Dec. 24. Adding a blue-chip quarterback early in the process put a leader in place and allowed Mettauer to work on other offensive weapons in this cycle for the Badgers. New offensive coordinator Phil Longo kept lines of communication open with other quarterbacks, but he hit on his top target in Mettauer.
RUNNING BACKS
How many will they take? Wisconsin is expected to take three tailbacks in the 2024 class.
Who do they already have? The Badgers have a commitment from three-star running back Gideon Ituka, as well as four-star backs Darrion Dupree and Dilin Jones.
Scholarship senior(s): Chez Mellusi
What's next?
Wisconsin addressed the running back room as well as any other position in the 2024 class. Ituka, Dupree and Jones all bring a unique skillset to the table and could be in line for reps as true freshmen. Now the Badgers have to hang on to all three before the Signing Period in December.
WIDE RECEIVERS
How many will they take? Wisconsin is expected to take one wide receiver in the 2024 class.
Who do they already have? The Badgers have a commitment from three-star wide receiver Kyan Berry-Johnson.
Scholarship senior(s): Chimere Dike
What's next?
In April, Wisconsin hit on arguably its top wide receiver target in Berry-Johnson, a four-star prospect from Illinois. The staff worked to pair him with I'Marion Stewart, but the Rivals250 prospect committed to Michigan in June. With that, the Badgers will likely take just one scholarship wide out in the current cycle.
