Wisconsin football just made the cut for Kobe Cherry’s final picks for 2026. Him being a defensive lineman and all, kinda makes this whole thing a bigger deal. Or does it?
Anyways, on Friday, he narrowed it down. It’s down to Wisconsin, Purdue, and Indiana. All kinda feels like a little neighborhood party, right? Especially for Cherry, who’s from Greenwood, Indiana. Louisville, Toledo, Washington, Minnesota—surprised they didn’t make it. But, hey, only so many slots to fill.
So, 247Sports is on this like frosting on cake. They say he’s a three-star dude, pegged as the No. 112 defensive lineman for his class. Not that I’d know how that works. Oh, and he’s the 17th best in Indiana. Seems random, but there you have it. Plus, he’s only got one official meet-and-greet on the books—Indiana on June 6. Crystal ball? Nope, still foggy.
Here’s the scoop—Wisconsin’s all fired up and on the hunt for D-liners in 2026. Ever since King Liggins—you probably heard—bolted to Illinois, there’s been a bit of urgency. They’ve got a few guys queuing up for a visit in June. Djidjou Bah and Arthur Scott wanna swing by on May 30 and Jermaine Polk’s eyeing June 6. Maybe Cherry will be rolling through soon, too?
For the numbers folks, Wisconsin’s class of 2026 ranks No. 43 in the entire nation with seven loyal souls already signed up. Slower than a sloth on a lazy day compared to the Fickell kickoff years. Last big nod was Aden Reeder back on May 12.
