Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin football program secured a notable win on the recruiting trail, landing a verbal commitment from one of the spring’s fastest-rising 2025 athletes, Luke Emmerich.
Hailing from Monticello, Minnesota, Emmerich announced his decision on social media Friday morning, following discussions with coach Fickell and his lead recruiter, Badgers defensive coordinator Mike Tressel.
“When you know, you know,” Emmerich wrote.
Standing at 6-foot-2 inches and weighing 195 pounds, Emmerich emerges as an intriguing ball of clay for the Wisconsin football program. Despite speculation about his potential transition to linebacker due to his size, a source says Emmerich is coming to the Badgers as an athlete.
