Wisconsin football class of 2026 defensive line target Blake Smythe committed to Indiana on Friday.
Smythe chose the Hoosiers over other finalists Wisconsin, Purdue, Illinois, Louisville and Michigan State.
247Sports currently lists the Franklin, Indiana, native as a three-star recruit. He is ranked specifically as the No. 90 defensive lineman in the class of 2026 and the No. 9 player from his home state. 247Sports reports that he has official visits scheduled to Wisconsin on June 6 and Indiana on June 20, though that may change with his commitment to the Hoosiers.
The three-star defensive lineman joins an Indiana class of 2026 that currently ranks No. 41 nationally with seven players committed. Head coach Curt Cignetti is still working to capitalize on the program’s resurgent 11-1 2024 regular season and College Football Playoff appearance.
Wisconsin’s class of 2026, meanwhile, currently ranks No. 42 nationally with six commitments. Its highest-ranked player is three-star defensive lineman Carmelow Reed, 247Sports’ No. 519 overall player in the class. Luke Fickell and his staff still have significant work to do if the program is to claim its third consecutive top-25 finish.
