Wisconsin Football Set to Host Former NFL Star’s Son on Visit

The Wisconsin football program is preparing for arguably the season’s biggest game as the Badgers get set to host the No. 3 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes — but it’s also shaping up to be a massive recruiting weekend as well. 

Several standout 2025 prospects will be in attendance, but there is one very intriguing name that will be there to take in the primetime showdown. 

Wisconsin Football Set to Host Eugene Hilton Jr on Unofficial Visit

Eugene Hilton Jr, the son of NFL wide receiver TY Hilton, will make his way to Madison this weekend. 

According to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, Hilton is the No. 380 player in the nation, the No. 54 WR, and the No. 4 player in Indiana. 

Hilton picked up an offer from Wisconsin football back in July. Just a few months later, the three-star prospect announced that UW had made his top six schools. Wisconsin joined Ole Miss, Kentucky, Missouri, Florida International University, and Miami as contenders in Hilton’s recruitment. 

Of course, having FIU in his top six is a formality, with his father spending his collegiate days with the Panthers. However, it’s worth noting that Kentucky seems to be leading the race at this time, with the Wildcats currently holding a Crystal Ball prediction to land the NFL legacy.

Wisconsin is still very much in this race, and Saturday’s visit will serve as an opportunity to potentially move the needle for the fast-rising pass catcher out of Zionsville.

As it stands, the Wisconsin football program holds two commitments in the 2025 recruiting class from Landyn Locke and Remington Moss.
