Wisconsin football top class of 2026 target, athlete Jackson Ford, announced his final four schools and upcoming commitment date on Tuesday.
Ford will announce his collegiate decision on Friday, June 27. He will be choosing between the Wisconsin Badgers, Ohio State Buckeyes, Michigan Wolverines and Penn State Nittany Lions.
247Sports lists Ford as a four-star recruit. He’s specifically ranked as the No. 306 overall player in the class of 2026, the No. 18 athlete and the No. 8 player from his home state of Pennsylvania. The athlete, who will likely play edge rusher at the college level, took official visits to Wisconsin on May 30, Penn State on June 6, Ohio State on June 13 and Michigan on June 20.
The recruiting service has yet to release a crystal ball for the top prospect’s decision. On3 sees a tight race, giving Penn State a 27.6% chance to land his commitment, Michigan 20.8%, Ohio State 12% and Wisconsin 10%.
Ford’s recruitment is close to a must-win for the Badgers. The program’s class currently ranks No. 51 nationally with 13 commitments. Notably, the class has now gone 10 days without a new addition.
Ford is one of several top targets from Wisconsin’s May 30 official visit weekend who remain uncommitted, along with four-star running back Amari Latimer, four-star wide receiver Jayden Petit and four-star offensive tackle Kamari Blair. The final verdict on the Badgers’ 2026 class, which is currently without a blue-chip player, will depend on landing several of those top recruits.
