Wisconsin Badgers extended an offer to three-star class of 2026 athlete Sharroid Whitehead on Friday. Whitehead joins other targets like Kennan and Jarod Pula, Samuel Simpson, and Rico Blassingame who have also received offers from UW in recent weeks. Whitehead, a 5-foot-9, 170-pound athlete, hails from Ocean Springs High School in Pascagoula, Mississippi. On3 ranks Whitehead as the nation’s No. 43 athlete and No. 14 recruit from Mississippi for the class of 2026.
Despite being a 2026 recruit, Whitehead has already received offers from several top programs including Florida State, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas Tech, and Wisconsin among others. While 247Sports has not made a crystal ball prediction, On3’s recruiting prediction machine suggests that Whitehead could land at Tennessee. However, Whitehead still has plenty of time to make a decision on his collegiate commitment.
In total, Wisconsin has offered 25 athletes for the class of 2026. Currently, the focus is on Fickell’s class of 2025, which is ranked at No. 15 in the nation with 14 commitments. The story was originally published on Badgers Wire.
