The Wisconsin Badgers went out of their 350-mile radius to offer 2026 three-star wide receiver Rico Blassingame back in May, being the second-latest team to extend a scholarship to the wideout.

Blassingame, a native of Arizona, is a top-five player in the state for the class of 2026, and has accumulated 16 scholarship offers already, with many coming from the Big Ten.

How did the Badgers offer feel like back in May?

“It was great,” Blassingame said. “Coach [Kenny] Guiton came to the school, and I didn’t know he was coming. He came to school, watched our practice, and then he liked what he seen, liked the vibe that I had, and he ended up pulling the trigger on me.
