The Badgers got some good news regarding their top receiver target in the 2026 class.
The Wisconsin Badgers got a big boost to their 2026 recruiting class on Sunday, when four-star wide receiver Zion Legree committed to the program.
Now, they could be looking to cap off the room with another major addition, as four-star wide receiver Jayden Petit is headed to campus once again, this time for an unofficial visit.
Petit was in Madison during the weekend of June 6th for his official visit, and he’ll stop by for a midweek unofficial visit on Monday and Tuesday, according to 247Sports’s Nick Osen.
It’s big news for the Badgers, who have been looking for three receivers in their 2026 class. Petit may be the biggest of them all. The four-star is getting significant interest elsewhere, as Oklahoma got an official visit during the last weekend of May, while North Carolina had theirs this week, and Missouri is up next weekend.
But, Wisconsin has clearly made its mark on the Florida native, as the 6’4, 195-pound wideout would be a great fit on the outside for the Badgers. Petit could be Wisconsin’s biggest receiver recruit over the past few years, ranking just outside the top-200 in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports.
Wisconsin also has three-star wide receiver Tayshon Bardo in their 2026 class, so Petit would be the third addition alongside Zion Legree.
If the Badgers can wrap things up this week, that would be a big boost to their growing 2026 recruiting class. But, regardless, they seem to be in a good spot for the Florida native heading into the latter half of June.
