Wisconsin football offers 2027 in-state lineman, son of current athletic director
Wisconsin football offers 2027 in-state lineman, son of current athletic director
Wisconsin football extended an offer to three-star class of 2027 offensive tackle Ethan McIntosh on Tuesday.
The program officially did so after his performance in its latest high school development camp. The in-state lineman was also one of numerous 2027 prospects on campus for the Badgers' 'Bucky's BBQ' event over the weekend.
Wisconsin is McIntosh's seventh offer, following Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, North Dakota, Northwestern and Washington State. 247Sports currently ranks him as the No. 42 offensive tackle in the class of 2027 and No. 6 recruit from the Badger state. For what it's worth, 247Sports already logged a crystal ball prediction for the Verona Area High School standout to choose the Badgers.
Some may consider that news a foregone conclusion, as Ethan is notably the son of Wisconsin athletic director Chris McIntosh. But by all accounts, the fast-rising class of 2027 prospect is proving it on the football field. He already boasts a strong offer sheet, still with two seasons of high school football left to play.
Wisconsin remains hard at work in the 2026 recruiting cycle, where its class currently ranks No. 36 nationally with 13 players committed. Three-star linebacker Ben Wenzel (No. 7 player from Wisconsin) is the program's only in-state commit in the cycle, with four of the state's top six already committed to other Big Ten programs.
While it's far too early to look ahead to 2027, the program's in-state recruiting efforts will be a significant story to follow. That story has a chance to begin positively with a commitment from McIntosh.

Wisconsin's tampering lawsuit against Miami, explained
College football's rules regarding tampering and the transfer portal are set to see their first major legal challenge. The University of Wisconsin, along with its NIL collective, has filed a lawsuit in state circuit court against the University of Miami (Florida) alleging "tortious interference," according to court documents obtained by Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger. The lawsuit stems from the departure of freshman defensive back Xavier Lucas, who attempted to transfer to Miami in January following the 2024 season but was blocked from entering the portal by the Badgers. He ultimately enrolled in Coral Gables for the spring semester. Wisconsin's legal challenge is the first of its kind and could be a major precedent-setter for how transfer situations will be handled when college sports enters the revenue-sharing era on July 1, following the approval of the House v. NCAA settlement earlier this month. Here's a full rundown of the wrongdoing Wisconsin is alleging and what it could mean for the future of college sports. Who is Xavier Lucas? A four-star recruit in the 2024 class from high school football powerhouse American Heritage in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Lucas signed with the Badgers out of high school and appeared in 11 games with one start as a true freshman in Madison last fall. He totaled 18 tackles, a tackle for loss, an interception and three pass breakups in 2024. Why did Wisconsin block Lucas from transferring to Miami? Lucas' attempt to transfer to Miami in the spring was complicated by the fact that he had already inked a two-year revenue-sharing agreement with Wisconsin ahead of the anticipated approval of the House settlement. The Badgers used that contract to block Lucas from entering the portal. However, that didn't stop him from seeking a transfer, and he ultimately unenrolled from Wisconsin in January after the transfer portal closed and signed up for classes at Miami. As of publication, there has not been an NCAA ruling regarding his eligibility in 2025, with the association stating in January that he did not violate any rules, and he is expected to suit up for the Hurricanes this fall. Lucas' attorney, Darren Heitner, said at the time that any attempt to prevent Lucas from playing this season would be met with an antitrust lawsuit of their own. Lucas' attorney, Darren Heitner, told Yahoo Sports in January that he planned to file an antitrust lawsuit against Wisconsin if Lucas was unable to complete his move to Miami. He accused Wisconsin of blatantly violating NCAA rules by not inserting Lucas' name into the portal as he requested and questioning the legality of the NCAA's transfer portal in general. According to Heitner, Lucas requested a transfer from Wisconsin after learning that his father had contracted a "serious, life-threatening illness" after returning home to Florida for winter break. What is Wisconsin seeking from the lawsuit? At the most basic level, the Badgers' lawsuit centers around one of the most contentious topics in college sports at the moment: tampering. Under NCAA rules, schools are not permitted to contact players on other teams' rosters until they officially enter the transfer portal. However, it's an open secret that contact often happens well before players officially opt to transfer, especially when they choose to do so with the eyebrow-raising "do not contact" tag. Wisconsin alleges that Miami violated NCAA rules by having impermissible contact with Lucas despite its knowledge that he had entered into a revenue-sharing agreement with the school that included anti-tampering language. The university said it filed the lawsuit "reluctantly" due to its commitment to "ensuring integrity and fundamental fairness in the evolving landscape of college athletics." The Badgers are not filing any lawsuits against Lucas, and they are seeking "unspecified damages, transparency and accountability" from Miami. It's unclear what a ruling against the Hurricanes would mean for Lucas' football-playing future. 'We stand by our position that respecting and enforcing contractual obligations is essential to maintaining a level playing field,' the Big Ten said in a statement of support for the Badgers. 'In addition to our legal action, we will continue to be proactive to protect the interests of our student-athletes, our program and the broader collegiate athletics community.' What could this mean for the future of college sports? At its heart, Wisconsin's lawsuit tests schools' ability to enforce anti-tampering elements of revenue-sharing agreements, a key element of the House settlement aimed at ending the perceived free-for-all when it comes to the transfer portal and player compensation. Should the courts rule in favor of the Hurricanes, it would provide a critical blow to the settlement, which is already facing legal backlash on Title IX grounds. The lawsuit will also help establish the credibility of the transfer portal. Since the NCAA has stated that there are currently no rules against players unenrolling from their current school and re-enrolling at a new one without entering the portal, its legitimacy could hinge on the success of Wisconsin's suit. There are a lot of moving parts in college sports at the moment, and the House settlement has only complicated matters. Whether that settlement can operate as designed could largely depend on the success of Wisconsin's lawsuit.

Wisconsin football 2025 opponent announces notable stadium theme for Badgers' matchup
The Wisconsin Badgers will have their hands full when they visit the Michigan Wolverines in Week 6 on Oct. 4. Michigan is ESPN SP+'s No. 10 team in the nation entering the season, bolstered by a defense that projects as the nation's third-best, ranked behind only Ohio State (No. 2) and Texas (No. 1). Wisconsin won its last visit to the Big House, 49-11, back in 2020. Given the context of that season, that spectator-less environment is far from what the program will face this fall. Dating back further, the Badgers are just 1-7 in their last trips to Ann Arbor, Michigan, dating back to 1998. The only win was a 48-28 triumph back in 2010. As if the road environment against a potential top-10 team in the sport wasn't already enough of a challenge, Michigan Athletics announced that their Oct. 4 game against the Badgers will be their annual 'Maize Out.' That reality should elevate the in-game environment even further. 247Sports also noted the game will kick off at either noon or 3:30 p.m. ET. Wisconsin's trip to Michigan Stadium is just one of many challenging contests on the team's 2025 slate. That schedule is projected as the toughest in the Big Ten and the second-toughest in the entire sport. While several paths to bowl eligibility exist for the Badgers, a road win over the Wolverines would be a major step toward that reality. Win or lose, the game will serve as an important early litmus test for Wisconsin after an offseason of significant changes.

Wisconsin great Braelon Allen holds a notable NFL record entering 2025 season
Wisconsin great Braelon Allen holds a notable NFL record entering 2025 season The most rush yards in NFL history before these ages... What jumps out about this list? 🤔 — NFL on CBS 🏈 (@NFLonCBS) June 19, 2025 Wisconsin fans grew used to hearing about Braelon Allen's age during his terrific three-year college career. The Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, native joined the program a year early after reclassifying from the class of 2022 to 2021. That move meant he joined the program as a 17-year-old true freshman, a fact that became universally known when the Badgers' season kicked off that fall. Allen burst onto the scene immediately during that true freshman campaign, taking 186 carries for 1,268 yards and 12 touchdowns. His emergence one month into the season directly correlated with the Badgers' seven-game win streak and in-season resurgence. Thanks to the ESPN and Fox broadcast teams, Allen's age became synonymous with the team's success. The talented running back went on to play in 35 games over three seasons with the Badgers. He took 597 total carries for 3,494 yards and 35 touchdowns. At only 20 years old, Allen entered the draft after his junior season, where the New York Jets selected him with the No. 134 overall pick. That leads to Allen's current NFL record. 20-year-old prospects rarely enter the professional ranks, given the three-year requirement between high school graduation and NFL draft declaration. A player would need to enter college at 17, which Allen did, then perform well enough to declare before their senior season. Allen, who didn't turn 21 until January 20, was the only 20-year-old in the NFL last season. Thus, it should be no surprise that he is currently the league's all-time leader in rushing yards before the age of 21. Allen carried the football 92 times for 334 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie with the Jets in 2024, primarily operating as the backup to starter Breece Hall. Allen and Hall should continue to form a 1-2 punch for the Jets in 2025. The former Badger's league record should hold for some time. Moving forward, it will be interesting to watch whether he can surpass any other legendary name on this list. For reference, Ezekiel Elliott totaled an NFL-best 1,631 yards as a 21-year-old rookie in 2016. Allen would need a 1,300-yard output in 2025 to reach that mark.
