The Wisconsin football program is gearing up for a big official visit weekend as some top targets will make their way to Madison.

The first round of official visits was successful for UW, as four-star prospects Logan Powell and Rukeem Stroud announced their commitment to the Badgers during their visits, and they may not be done adding from the first weekend.

Heading into the second weekend, Wisconsin holds 13 commitments in the 2025 class, which currently ranks as the No. 16 class in the country per the composite rankings. This weekend’s visitor list is smaller than the first round, but UW will have some top-of-the-board targets on campus.

Here’s a look at the full list of prospects that will be in attendance starting on Friday.

Wisconsin Football Visitors: Offense

RB Byron Louis

Louis, the highest-rated visitor this weekend, is among the top running back targets for Wisconsin. UW is battling Miami and Florida State for the nation’s No. 14 tailback.

IOL Hardy Watts

A highly-touted four-star offensive lineman who holds offers from Georgia, Alabama, Clemson, Michigan, Nebraska, Penn State, North Carolina, and many others. He visited Clemson last weekend and will make stops at Duke and Michigan later in June.

WR Eugene Hilton Jr.

The son of former NFL pro-bowler T.Y. Hilton and a four-star wide receiver per the composite rankings. Hilton holds offers from Georgia, Missouri, Michigan, Ole Miss, Cincinnati, and Miami, among others, but Wisconsin is his only scheduled official visit at this time.

Wisconsin Football Visitors: Defense

DL Wilnerson Telemaque

Telemaque was initially scheduled to visit UW on June 14th, but that date was moved up after he canceled his official visits with Minnesota and LSU. He listed Wisconsin alongside West Virginia, Florida, and Georgia Tech in his top four a few days ago, but this looks like a two-horse race between the Badgers and the Mountaineers.

CB Jahmare Washington

Washington was a late addition to Wisconsin’s visitor list, and UW is the only school currently on his official visit schedule. The Chicago native holds other offers from Kansas State, Indiana, Michigan State, Iowa State, and Toledo, but Wisconsin could wrap up Washington’s recruitment as soon as this weekend.

OLB Nicolas Clayton

Wisconsin holds two outside linebacker commits in Brenden Anes and Samuel Lateju, but UW is expected to take another EDGE rusher in the 2025 class. Clayton is among the top remaining targets at this stage, and he will head to Madison before taking officials to Florida State, Tulane, and Illinois later in June.

Wisconsin Football Visitors: Commits

OL Cam Clark

One of two offensive tackle commits for the Badgers in the 2025 class, Clark is rated as the No. 783 player in the country and the No. 56 OT. He chose Wisconsin over offers from Minnesota, Michigan State, Kansas, Kentucky, Cincinnati, and West Virginia, among others.

DB Remington Moss

Moss was an early addition to Wisconsin’s 2025 class, announcing his commitment to the Badgers in early August. Since then, he’s seen a jump in the composite rankings, as he is now a four-star prospect and the No. 33 safety in the country.

OLB Brenden Anes

Anes committed to UW in January, choosing the Badgers over Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Memphis, Wake Forest, Liberty, and others. Clemson also began to show interest before his commitment.

ATH Grant Dean

In-state athlete Grant Dean committed to Wisconsin in April. He began receiving Division One attention in March, but UW was able to shut his recruitment down quickly after extending an offer during a spring practice visit. The Neenah High School standout has experience playing both running back and safety, but he projects as a defensive back at the next level.
