MADISON – Recruiting season can be a roller coaster.
It took University of Wisconsin fans on a ride during the evening of June 2 when in the span of an hour the program lost a previously committed prospect then scored a commitment from another.
With that the Badgers celebrated the addition to tight end Jack Sievers, while absorbing the loss of outside linebacker Carmelow Reed.
Sievers’ commitment was the fourth for the Badgers in 36 hours. Like the three commitments that preceded him, Sievers made the call after an official visit at Wisconsin last weekend.
The 6-foot-4½ , 230-pound prospect plays for Archbishop Murray High School just outside of Seattle. The multi-sport athlete recently ran the 100 meters in a personal best 11.1 seconds and during basketball season received all-conference distinction after averaging 12.1 points and 11.2 rebounding per game and posted 13 double-doubles.
ESPN lists him as a four-star prospect. Rivals, 247sports and One3 give him three stars.
Sievers announced his commitment on X.
“I would like to announce I am 100% Committed to The University of Wisconsin!,” he wrote.
Sievers joins defensive lineman Arthur Scott and Djidjou Bah and linebacker Ben Wenzel in the recent run of commitments. Sievers made his decision before scheduled official visits to Boise State, Minnesota and San Diego State.
In addition to Minnesota, he announced Power Four offers from Oklahoma and Northwestern this spring.
Sievers commitment brings the Badgers 2026 class back to 10.
Carmelow Reed changes mind, commits to Ole Miss
Earlier in the evening Reed, a 6-7, 250-pound outside linebacker from Rich Township High School in Illinois, announced his intention to play for Ole Miss. The three-star prospect had been committed to UW since April 7.
Wisconsin was the first Power Four program to offer the three-star prospect a scholarship. Seven others followed.

The average can be skewed by one particularly low or high sale.
