Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin football coaching staff just checked a major box off their 2027 recruiting to-do list.

3-star defensive lineman Will Zaccagnino officially announced his commitment to the Wisconsin Badgers. The standout defensive trench-warrior out of St. Joseph High School in Trumbull, Connecticut, becomes the 11th commitment in a rapidly growing 2027 recruiting class.

Zaccagnino chose the Badgers over an offer sheet that featured 14 Division I programs, fending off heavy interest from Michigan State, Missouri, Syracuse, and his home-state UConn Huskies.
