Wisconsin football loses commitment from 3-star LB
The Badgers' 2026 recruiting class takes another hit.
Losing games makes things harder, and the Wisconsin football team is experiencing that right now.
Aden Reeder, a 3-star linebacker out of Ohio, had been committed to the Badgers in May and was one of the first few committed players in the 2026 class.
The linebacker out of St. Xavier’s has been garnering more national attention from a handful of schools, including the Michigan Wolverines. He recently took an official visit to Michigan, which we all know is never a good sign.
In a move that was something that most could probably see coming, Reeder announced his decommitment via his X account.
With the loss of Reeder, the Badgers’ 2026 class is now down to 14 players. In-state linebacker Ben Wenzel is now the lone linebacker in the class.
It will be a battle to keep them all together with other programs circling the Wisconsin football program. Luke Fickell and his staff have their work cut out for them.
