The Wisconsin Badgers made an offer to up-and-coming class of 2026 athlete Brandon Brown Jr. on Tuesday. Brown is the latest in a string of talented 2026 recruits to receive an offer from UW, joining fellow wide receivers Kennan and Jarod Pula, and athletes Rico Blassingame and Sharroid Whitehead. Representing Shoemaker High School in Killeen, Texas, Brown is a 5-foot-8, 150-pound athlete who is ranked as the nation’s No. 97 wide receiver and No. 80 recruit from Texas for the class of 2026 according to On3.
Despite being a 2026 recruit, Brown has already received offers from five NCAA Division I programs including Campbell, Colorado State, Oklahoma State, Boston College, and Wisconsin. While 247Sports has not released a crystal ball prediction for Brown, On3’s recruiting prediction machine projects him to land at Oklahoma State. With plenty of time to make his decision, Brown has time to weigh his options for his collegiate commitment.
Wisconsin had previously offered 25 wide receivers in the class of 2026 before extending an offer to Brown. Currently, the Badgers are focused on their class of 2025, which is ranked No. 13 in the nation with 17 players committed. Wisconsin’s recruiting efforts are in full swing as they look to bring in top talent for future seasons.
