Wisconsin Football Extends Offer to 2026 Offensive Tackle from Kansas

The Wisconsin football team held a football camp for prospective high school football players to attend and get some exposure to the Wisconsin coaching staff. These camps consists of players from all over the country, but also a lot of local players.

Sometimes, if a player really impresses the coaching staff during the camp, a prospect will leave camp with a preferred walk-on offer or even a full scholarship offer.

2026 offensive tackle Braden Wilmes (Lawrence, KS) is one of those players, earning a scholarship offer from the Wisconsin football team.

Extremely excited and grateful to announce that I have received an offer to play football at the University of Wisconsin!
