Anes was one of four prospects that visited Madison for the first round of junior day visits. Cody Haddad and Jaimier Scott have also committed to the University of Wisconsin shortly after those visits. 

The composite recruiting rankings have Anes, a three-star prospect, listed as the No. 63 linebacker in the nation and the No. 30 player in Tennessee.

Wisconsin Football Lands Commitment From 3-Star LB Brenden Anes

The Wisconsin football program is on an absolute heater on the recruiting trail right now.

Outside linebackers coach Mike Mitchell served as the lead recruiter for Brenden Anes and discovered a player with the versatility to play inside or out in the Badgers defensive scheme.

Per MaxPreps, the 6-foot-3, 220-pound linebacker finished his junior season at Fred J Page High School with 90 tackles, 18 TFLs, 5.5 sacks, three interceptions, and two pass deflections.

Anes is now the Wisconsin football program’s seventh known commit in the 2025 recruiting class, joining quarterback Landyn Locke, linebacker Cooper Catalano, defensive back Remington Moss, offensive tackle Michael Roeske, safety Cody Haddad, and safety Jaimier Scott.

According to the composite rankings, the Wisconsin Badgers have the No. 10 recruiting class in the country after the addition of Anes.
