Wisconsin Badgers State of the 2025 class: July Edition

With Wisconsin currently holding 20 commitments in the rising senior cycle, BadgerBlitz.com takes a look at what's ahead in the seventh edition of the State of the 2025 Class, which runs on the first of each month.

Note: The "top target(s)" category takes into account talent level and current interest in Wisconsin. It does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the UW coaching staff.

How many will they take? Wisconsin is expected to take one quarterback in the 2025 class.

Who do they already have? The Badgers have a commitment from three-star quarterback Landyn Locke.

Top targets: N/A

Scholarship senior: Tyler Van Dyke

What's next?

Position coach Phil Longo has a nice prospect in Locke, who is bigger and more athletic than his older brother (Braedyn Locke). He will almost certainly be the only quarterback Wisconsin takes in this cycle.

How many will they take? Wisconsin is expected to take zero or one tailback in the 2025 class.

Top target(s): Byron Louis

Scholarship seniors: Chez Mellusi, Tawee Walker

What's next?

Wisconsin is all in on four-star tailback Byron Louis. The standout from Florida has taken officials to Miami, UW, Georgia and Florida State, and those are the schools he's expected to choose from. The Badgers, however, are believed to be near the bottom of that short list. If Wisconsin misses on Louis, there is a strong chance it will go without a scholarship tailback in this cycle.
