Wisconsin was dealt a bit of a blow on Tuesday night.
The Wisconsin Badgers lost out on a key recruit on Tuesday, as 2026 three-star offensive lineman Jalayne Miller committed to the Stanford Cardinal just days after his visit to Madison.
Miller was in town over the weekend for his official visit and was a priority target for the Badgers, who are trying to land a third lineman to pair with current commits Maddox Cochrane and Benjamin Novak.
At 6’5, 305 pounds, Miller was thought to be that guy, but he went for Stanford instead, where he visited officially in the middle of May.
Miller’s commitment leaves the Badgers looking for another offensive lineman still, and a lot of their options are coming off the board.
Wisconsin brought in four-star Kamari Blair back during the first weekend of official visits, but there is clear competition there with SEC powers Tennessee, South Carolina, and Ole Miss all slated to get visits.
They also hosted Wilson Zierer, but were perceived to be behind in that recruitment heading into official visits, and there’s a loaded group there as well.
Another target, three-star Justin Morales, committed to Kansas State after an early visit. So, there’s a little bit of work to do here after Wisconsin whiffed on Miller for that final spot in the 2026 class.
