Breaking down some of Wisconsin’s most recent offers in the 2027 class

The Badgers are starting to get active in the junior class.

The Wisconsin Badgers’ 2026 class now has seven players, with Aden Reeder’s commitment on Monday. However, head coach Luke Fickell and company are also starting to extend offers in the 2027 class.

The Badgers have been active on the recruiting trail recently, hoping to land that first 2027 class commitment, while starting to map out targets in the junior clas. Here are four top high-school athletes who recently received an offer to play for the Wisconsin Badgers:

Maxwell Hiller

Coatesville (PA) Area High School’s interior offensive lineman, Maxwell Hiller, received a Badgers’ offer last Friday.

At 6’ 5” and 300 pounds, Hiller is a four-star recruit, according to 247Sports, and is the third-ranked interior offensive lineman in the country. Other programs that have already offered Hiller include Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Tennessee, and USC.

Penn State is considered the favorite, followed by Maryland and South Carolina.

Reinaldo Perez

Wisconsin has successfully recruited Ohio in the past, so the Badgers hope four-star defensive lineman Reinaldo Perez from the Columbus Academy in Columbus, Ohio, will be coming to Madison in the future.

Like Hiller, Perez is a four-star athlete with notable offers from the College Football Playoff programs, Indiana and Tennessee.

According to On3, Purdue, which hired UNLV’s Barry Odom as its new head coach, is considered the favorite to land Perez.

Jackson Ballinger

Despite not being listed with any stars on his 247Sports profile, Ballinger does have an impressive offer list that includes Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, and Ole Miss. The tight end from Centerburg, Ohio, recently impressed tight ends coach Nate Letton, which earned him a scholarship to Wisconsin.

When asked about Letton, Ballinger said, “Great guy. Most of the time, you can tell if coaches are being real in their recruitment or not, and he seemed like a real up-front and honest guy.”

Kenaz Sullivan

North Stafford High School (VA) safety Kenaz Sullivan earned a scholarship to Wisconsin earlier this month.

Sullivan is a rising three-star prospect from Stafford, Virginia, who already has offers from Indiana, Tennessee, and Virginia Tech. There are no listed favorites for Sullivan, but one can expect his offer list to grow as he becomes an upperclassman at North Stafford.
