Recently, the Wisconsin Badgers extended an offer to Jakob Weatherspoon, a highly sought-after athlete from Avon, Ohio who is part of the class of 2026. Weatherspoon joins Rico Blassingame and Sharroid Whitehead as the third athlete to receive an offer from the Badgers in recent weeks. On the same day, another athlete, Madden Williams, also received an offer from UW.
Weatherspoon is a four-star athlete who stands at 5-foot-11 and weighs 172 pounds. Currently attending Avon High School in Ohio, he has already received 12 collegiate opportunities from schools like Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Cincinnati. Despite some of his peers in the same class having numerous offers, Weatherspoon has not yet made a decision on where he will commit.
While 247Sports has not yet made any predictions about Weatherspoon’s choice of school, On3’s recruiting prediction machine suggests that he is likely to choose Ohio State with a nearly 92% chance of committing to them. With this addition to their roster for the class of 2026, Wisconsin now has offered a total of 26 athletes for their upcoming season.
According to Rivals, Luke Fickell’s class of 2025 is currently ranked at No. 6 in the nation with 19 players committed. This story was originally published on Badgers Wire.
