The Wisconsin Badgers land a centerpiece of their 2027 class today, as consensus Top-200 national prospect Jack Sorgi flipped his commitment from Louisville to Wisconsin. The Tri-West (IN) standout follows in the footsteps of his father, Jim, who quarterbacked the Badgers in the early 2000s.

Updated Rankings & Industry Metrics

While Rivals and On3 are high on him, adding the 247Sports Composite provides a “consensus” view that national scouts use.

  • Rivals: 4-Star | #15 QB | #169 Overall

  • 247Sports Composite: 4-Star | #20 QB | #261 Overall

  • On3 Industry Ranking: #28 QB | #382 Overall

Physical Profile & Verified Testing Data

In the RVO (Reliable Violent Offense), a quarterback needs the frame to withstand hits and the hand size to maintain ball security during complex play-action meshes.

  • Height/Weight: 6’3” | 200 lbs

  • Hand Size: 9.5”

  • 40-Yard Dash: 4.73s

Statistical Progression

Scouts love to see a jump during junior seasons. Sorgi nearly doubled his production from his sophomore to junior seasons.

Expanded Offer List

Since Sorgi’s decommitment from Louisville on March 8, 2026, has reopened doors with other Power 4 programs. Sorgi currently holds offers from:

  • SEC: Arkansas

  • Big Ten: Wisconsin

  • ACC/Other: Louisville (former commit), Memphis


Wisconsin didn’t just land a quarterback today; they landed a recruiter. Securing a 4-star legacy under center this early in the 2027 cycle creates a massive gravity effect for the rest of the class. From in-state offensive line targets to elite playmakers out East, landing a quarterback early in the cycle carries weight.

But how does he actually project at the Big Ten level, and what does his arrival mean for the current QB room?

Unlock the full breakdown. How does Sorgi fit the Wisconsin offense and what effect will he have on the future of the Badgers’ class?
