Badgers Land Top In-State Talent for 2027
11 Jan
Summary
- Four-star tight end Korz Loken committed to Wisconsin.
- Loken is the top player in Wisconsin and eighth nationally.
- This commitment bolsters Wisconsin's 2027 recruiting class.

The Wisconsin Badgers have secured a significant commitment for their 2027 recruiting class with four-star tight end Korz Loken announcing his decision. Loken, recognized as the top player in the state of Wisconsin and the eighth-ranked tight end nationally by 247Sports, chose to remain in-state, aligning with head coach Luke Fickell's vision to restore the program's winning traditions.
This addition is particularly vital for the Badgers, especially after a disappointing finish to their 2026 class. Loken joins offensive tackle Ethan McIntosh, the son of athletic director Chris McIntosh, as the class of 2027's initial commits. Both are highly-touted in-state talents, and the program aims to capitalize further on local talent.
Wisconsin is actively pursuing other key prospects, including offensive tackle Cole Reiter, edge Isaac Miller, and running back Kingston Allen. Securing a strong pipeline of in-state talent is a clear priority for the Badgers' coaching staff as they build for sustained success in the coming years.
