The Badgers got a big flip on Monday from a rival conference program.
The Wisconsin Badgers have secured a commitment from 2025 three-star tight end Emmett Bork, he announced on Monday.

Bork, a native of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, had been committed to the Michigan State Spartans since May, as he took an official visit there in the summer.
But, the Badgers had been interested in him for over a year, bringing him out to camp last summer where he first began to develop a relationship with the coaching staff. Bork then came out for a gameday visit last September, continuing to grow his connection with tight ends coach Nate Letton and the recruiting staff.
He then came out to Wisconsin again for a spring ball visit, while camping with the Badgers again this summer. While Michigan State had a clear interest in the tight end, Wisconsin was able to secure the commitment here late in the fall, getting the 6’6, 240-pound recruit into their 2025 recruiting class.
Bork becomes the 25th commit for Wisconsin in the class, and the second tight end alongside fellow three-star Nizyi Davis, giving the Badgers a good core of skill-position players to build off.
While Wisconsin doesn’t have any running backs in their 2025 class, they have two receivers, Eugene Hilton and Cameron Miller, and now two tight ends with Davis and Bork, rounding out yet another strong recruiting cycle for head coach Luke Fickell.
