Wisconsin Football Four-Star Recruiting Target Cuts List to 8 Programs

Luke Fickell and the University of Wisconsin football program are still in the mix for a 2025 four-star recruiting target.

On Sunday, Julian ‘Juju’ Marks announced the top eight schools he’d consider moving forward. The Badgers made the revised list alongside Alabama, Kansas, Ole Miss, Oregon, Tennessee, USC, and Missouri.

According to the composite recruiting rankings, Marks is the No. 370 overall prospect in his class, the No. 31 offensive tackle, and the No. 6 player in Kansas. It’s worth noting that Marks is seen as a legitimate blue-chip prospect on both sides of the ball.

Marks earned First-Team All-Kansas honors in 2023 while playing both offensive and defensive line at St. Thomas Aquinas High School. On defense, Marks finished with 23 tackles and 1.0 TFLs, per MaxPreps.

The Wisconsin football coaching staff got involved in this recruitment last September when the Badgers offered the 6-foot-7, 260-pound lineman a scholarship.

Right now, Coach Fickell and his staff have eight verbal commitments in the 2025 recruiting class, which ranks No. 20 in the nation, per the composite rankings. In-state product Grant Dean was the most recent Wisconsin football commit, although these rankings will fluctuate quite a bit between now and the end of June.
