Wisconsin receives low grade in The Athletic re-rank of 2020 recruiting cycle

Wisconsin football received a low grade in The Athletic’s recent re-rank of the class of 2020 recruiting cycle.

The Badgers were among the ‘honorable mention’ category, ranked at No. 33 overall with an average point rating of 1.98, a 27-19 record with the class on campus and only 45% attrition.

The Athletic’s point system awards five points to an All-American or top-50 NFL draft pick, four points to a multi-year starter or all-conference honors, three points to a one-year starter or key reserve, two points to a career backup and 0 points to players with minor or zero contribution.

Wisconsin’s 20-person class led by five-star OT Jack Nelson, four-star OLB Nick Herbig, four-star RB Jalen Berger and four-star OL Trey Wedig finished with only 40 of those points. It had several solid contributors, but only a few star players.

Here is a breakdown of the class, organized by The Athletic’s point system:

5:

4: Jack Nelson, Nick Herbig, Chimere Dike, Tanor Bortolini, Jordan Turner, James Thompson Jr.,

3: Jalen Berger

2: Trey Wedig, Ben Barten, Devin Chandler, Preston Zachman, Max Lofy, Cade McDonald

0: Cole Dakovich, Malik Reed, Cam Large, Isaac Smith, Kaden Johnson, Aaron Witt

A necessary note: this ranking has the possibility to rise during the 2024 season. Max Lofy, Aaron Witt, Ben Barten, Cade McDonald and Preston Zachman all figure to play an increased role.

The class sits at No. 33 in this re-rank after finishing the 2020 cycle ranked No. 26 in the nation.
