The Badgers cracked the top five for a top 2025 defensive lineman.
The Wisconsin Badgers made the top five for 2025 four-star defensive lineman Austin Alexander, who is announcing his commitment later this week on April 19th at his high school.
Alexander, who stands at 6’3, 245 pounds, broke down his Top 5 with me, which consists of Kentucky, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, and UNC.
Kentucky: It’s the hometown school with that hometown blood. They’ve recruited me since eighth grade.
Tennessee: It’s an SEC power that has a great defensive line room and plays at an elite level of football.
Wisconsin: It’s about the relationships. They’ve got great coaches and great people. They also have a tough Big Ten schedule, playing Alabama, Oregon, and others.
Notre Dame: They’ve got a good culture, good football, and good academics. They also come with an already good recruiting class.
UNC: I could get a spot for playing time early and grow with a great brand.
Thus far, the Badgers have yet to land a commitment from a defensive lineman in their 2025 class after in-state three-star Torin Pettaway flipped to Minnesota.
