The Wisconsin Badgers got some major news over the weekend when 2025 three-star defensive lineman Xavier Ukponu committed to the program, providing the team with three defensive linemen in the cycle.
Ukponu, a 6’2, 290-pound lineman from Texas, boasted a significant offer, which included LSU, Oklahoma, Florida, Texas A&M, Oregon, and USC, among others.
But, the Badgers ultimately pushed late as interest elsewhere waned, landing a big commitment and reaching further into their recent Texas pipeline.
What does Ukponu bring for the Badgers in the 2025 class and how does he fit in the room?
