3-star DL Arthur Scott picks Wisconsin over MSU following official visit this weekend

Michigan State football has been beaten out by the Wisconsin Badgers for a three-star defensive lineman from Ohio.

Arthur Scott of Streetsboro, Ohio announced his commitment to Wisconsin on Sunday morning. Scott revealed his commitment to the Badgers via a post on his social media X account.

Scott took an official visit to Wisconsin this weekend, which apparently went very well for the Badgers.

Scott is a three-star defensive lineman in the 2026 class. He has a recruiting ranking of 86 on 247Sports.

Scott ranks as the No. 115 defensive lineman in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports. He is also listed as the No. 59 player from Ohio in the class.

According to 247Sports, Scott holds offers from 15 schools, but it was Michigan State, Rutgers, Cincinnati and Wisconsin that were considered the favorites for his commitment. He had official visits scheduled with each of those schools, but it’s unclear at this time if he’ll still be taking those visits following his Wisconsin commitment. Should Scott take these additional official visits, he’ll be heading to Michigan State on June 13.
