Wisconsin football made the final five schools for class of 2026 cornerback Tony Forney Jr. on Thursday. The program was included alongside Missouri, Georgia, Auburn, and Pittsburgh.
In the announcement, Forney also noted that he will announce his commitment on Friday, July 4, at 4:30 p.m. ET, 3:30 p.m. CT.
247Sports lists the Marietta, Georgia, native as a three-star recruit. He’s specifically ranked as the No. 746 player in the class of 2026, the No. 66 safety and the No. 85 player from his home state. The recruiting service notes official visits to Missouri on May 30 and to Wisconsin on June 13. Rivals/On3, meanwhile, gives the Badgers, Missouri Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs a near equal shot to land the safety’s commitment.
Wisconsin is looking to continue its momentum in the cycle after the recent additions of blue-chip offensive playmakers, wide receiver Jayden Petit and running back Amari Latimer. The Badgers’ class currently ranks No. 39 in the nation with 15 players committed.
Stay tuned on Friday afternoon as the Badgers look to edge several top SEC programs for Forney’s commitment.
