Wisconsin football class of 2026 wide receiver commit Tayshon Bardo announced on Wednesday that he will be transferring high schools for his senior year.
Bardo, who offered his commitment to Luke Fickell’s program back on March 11, shared his choice to transfer from Penn High School in Mishawaka, Indiana, to Elkhart High School in Elkhart, Indiana. The three-star playmaker is now set to catch passes roughly nine miles east of his original stomping grounds.
Bardo officially visited Madison the weekend of May 30 and reaffirmed his decision to join UW shortly thereafter. Despite receiving roughly 20 offers from potential suitors scattered across the country, Bardo elected to limit his list of official visits to one: Wisconsin. Before his statement, the Indiana native had official visits scheduled to Cincinnati, USF, Michigan State and Vanderbilt.
247Sports ranks the 6-foot-1 wide receiver as the No. 754 player in the class of 2026, the No. 108 wide receiver and the No. 8 recruit from his home state of Indiana. As of July 16, he and four-star Jayden Petit, who committed on June 26, are the only wide receivers to pledge to Wisconsin’s class of 2026.
During his junior year at Penn, Bardo tallied 33 receptions for 540 yards and eight touchdowns, including eight punt returns for 92 yards. In his opening contest against Valparaiso, he reeled in four catches for 102 yards and three scores in arguably his most impressive offensive outing of his Penn tenure.
Despite receiving nine commitments in June, Wisconsin’s class of 2026 ranks No. 53 in the nation and No. 15 in the Big Ten. Pledges from Petit and four-star running back Amari Latimer elevated UW’s standing to No. 37 in late June, though the Badgers have been quiet since that date.
