The Wisconsin Badgers football team extended an offer to class of 2026 defensive lineman Damari Simeon on Saturday.
The Badgers are the 13th Division 1 program to offer the Richland, New Jersey native. Wisconsin, Penn State and Rutgers are now the three Big Ten programs currently on his offer sheet.
The 6-foot-3, 275-pound defensive lineman has yet to receive a recruiting ranking from 247Sports, On3, or Rivals. He recently compiled 45 total tackles, 3.0 sacks, eight TFLs and one forced fumble over 10 games as a sophomore at St. Augustine Prep. A ranking is sure to follow as the class of 2026 cycle continues.
Wisconsin currently has one player committed to its class of 2026: three-star quarterback Jarrin Mock.
The program has undergone a culture change on the defensive side of the ball since Luke Fickell’s arrival as head coach. He and defensive coordinator Mike Tressel are still in the midst of implementing their 3-3-5 scheme. High school recruiting will be a major factor in how the unit performs as the years continue.
