The Badgers were not able to secure a commitment from their final receiver target in the 2025 class.
The Wisconsin Badgers faced some unfortunate news on Saturday, as 2025 three-star wide receiver Muizz Tounkara committed to Arizona Wildcats, he announced.

Tounkara had a final three of Wisconsin, Arizona, and Kansas, with the former two presumed to be at the top.
Ultimately, the wideout committed to Arizona, leaving the Badgers with two receivers in their 2025 class: four-stars Cameron Miller and Eugene Hilton.
Tounkara, a native of Texas, stands at 6’3, 195 pounds, and would’ve been a fit on the outside at receiver, where Wisconsin was looking to add another body alongside Hilton.
After an official visit during the first weekend of June, Tounkara elected to go forward with his official visits, while Hilton committed the weekend after.
The Badgers were fairly late in the game for Tounkara, offering him in May just two weeks before his official visit, but there was high mutual interest throughout the process to make him a realistic target.
Ultimately though, the Badgers fell just short in their pursuit, as Tounkara is heading to Arizona.
