Wisconsin Badgers Top 10: June Edition for the 2025 recruiting class

The Sweet 16/Top 10 ranking is based on a combination of three factors: position need, interest in Wisconsin and talent level.

Note: All quotes used in this report are from the Rivals.com network.

Top 5: Florida, Penn State, Purdue, Tennessee, Wisconsin

Previous Rank: 3

Official visits: Wisconsin (May 31), Penn State (June 7), Purdue (June 14), Tennessee (June 21)

The Word: With commitments already secured from Brenden Anes, Samuel Lateju and Nicolas Clayton, a fourth outside linebacker in this class is more of a luxury than need. Woods has been high atop UW's board for some time, but he's less of a priority after Clayton's commitment on Saturday.

"Their message was that they only want one more outside linebacker and that I'm a top priority," Woods told BadgerBlitz.com. "They want me to join the family and made that pretty clear."

Schools to watch: Missouri, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Ohio State

Previous Rank: N/A

Official visit: Michigan State (April 4), Missouri (May 31), Wisconsin (June 7), Kentucky (June 14), Ohio State (June 21)

The Word: Wisconsin was believed to be on top for Brody Lennon after an official during the weekend of June 7. But a recent offer from Ohio State has shaken things up for the three-star tight end. He is in Columbus this weekend.

"Last visit is Ohio State and then I'm done with official visits," Lennon said. "And for a decision, probably early July."

The Badgers have a commitment from tight end Nizyi Davis in the 2025 class.
