Korz Loken, a four‑star tight end prospect from Iola‑Scandinavia, announced his commitment to the University of Wisconsin in January, sending a clear signal that the Badgers are assembling a class that could rank among the nation’s most competitive.
A Recruiting Surge
The 2027 roster already counts 13 verbal pledges, nine of whom hail from Wisconsin, underscoring Coach Luke Fickell’s emphasis on retaining in‑state talent while courting elite out‑of‑state prospects.
Jack Sorgi, a legacy recruit who follows his family’s storied connection to the program, is also part of the group, adding depth at the quarterback position.
Official Visits and Strategic Timing
This week marks the start of a series of summer official visits, a critical window during which Fickell and his staff hope to lock in the remaining commitments before the class officially closes.
Loken emphasized that maintaining the class’s high ceiling is as important as adding new faces, noting that each addition must complement the existing mix of skill sets and character.
Looking Ahead
With the Badgers poised to finalize the bulk of their 2027 haul in the coming weeks, the momentum generated by Loken’s pledge could prove decisive in shaping a roster that blends local roots with national ambition.
