Badgers sign their lone tight end in the 2026 class

The Wisconsin Badgers have signed three-star tight end Jack Sievers in their 2026 class, the school announced on Wednesday.

Sievers, a 6’6, 240-pound tight end, hails from Washington and was one of the more underrated gets for Luke Fickell’s staff in the Class of 2026. A smaller tight end, Sievers’s speed especially stands out, as he has a track background.

Back in the summer, when he committed, this was one I was looking forward to, as Wisconsin hasn’t really had that receiving threat at tight end. Over the last few classes, it’s clear they’re prioritizing some athleticism at the position, and Sievers provides that.

Wisconsin won this commitment over offers from Oklahoma, Minnesota, Cal, Boise State, and others.

The Badgers were initially expected to have two tight ends in the class, but former tight end commit Jack Janda is now being seen as a defensive lineman after a stellar Fall. He flipped from Wisconsin to the Iowa Hawkeyes on Tuesday.

Sievers is the 11th player to sign for Wisconsin in the 2026 class. He joins defensive lineman Arthur Scott, cornerback Carsen Eloms, running back Qwantavius Wiggins, wide receiver Keeyshawn Tabuteau, offensive lineman Brady Bekkenhuis, wide receiver Zion Legree, defensive lineman Djidjou Bah, linebacker Ben Wenzel, edge Yahya Gaad, and cornerback Donovan Dunmore.

The last two are possibly the most important: quarterback Ryan Hopkins and running back Amari Latimer.
