BREAKING: Three-star class of 2024 cornerback commits to Wisconsin

Jay Harper, a three-star class of 2024 cornerback from Valley, Alabama, committed to Wisconsin on Monday. The 6-foot, 165-pound athlete will join Luke Fickell’s football team in Madison following the conclusion of his senior year at Valley High School in 2024.

Harper selected the Badgers over 12 other Division 1 offers and an offer from HBCU Tuskegee University. The cornerback decided to join head coach Luke Fickell and his defensive coordinator Mike Tressel’s system in Madison, which churned out NFL talents Sauce Gardner and Coby Bryant at cornerback in their time at Cincinnati.

With his commitment, Harper became the fourth secondary player to pick Wisconsin for the class of 2024, joining three-star safeties Kahmir Prescott (Philadelphia, PA) and Raphael Dunn (Lawrenceville, NJ) as well as three-star cornerback Vernon Woodward (Winter Park, FL).

Wisconsin quarterback Braedyn Locke transferring to Arizona

TUCSON, Ariz. — Former Wisconsin quarterback Braedyn Locke is headed to Arizona.

Locke announced his decision in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Friday, giving the Wildcats two veteran quarterbacks with Noah Fifita returning.

Locke sat out as a redshirt at Mississippi State in 2022 before throwing for 1,936 yards and 13 touchdowns with 10 interceptions for the Badgers last season.

Arizona will have a new-look offense with the addition of offensive coordinator Seth Doege, a disciple of late Texas Tech coach Mike Leach.

Fifita has been Arizona’s starter most of the past two seasons and announced earlier this month he would be returning to Tucson.

Southeast Wisconsin weather: Fog clearing up, rain becoming likely

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until noon today north of I-94 including Ozaukee, Washington, Dodge, Fond Du lac and Sheboygan counties.

There’s more fog this morning, but we are already seeing improvement from this time yesterday. Most areas south of I-94 have seen the snowpack disappear and there’s some slightly drier air leading to better visibility. A dense fog advisory continues north of I-94 where some snow is still on the ground causing that thick fog to stick around early today. It will improve in these areas too with winds picking up and snow continuing to melt.

Rain will be the other big story today with scattered showers in the morning becoming a steady rain in the afternoon and evening. About a quarter to half inch of rain will be likely, with areas west picking up the highest totals. Highs will hit the upper 40s today.

Low pressure will lift north Saturday giving us a mostly dry day outside of a lingering rain shower early. We might hit close to 50 in the morning but most of the day will be spent in the 40s. Another low pressure system will pass to our southeast on Sunday bringing just the small chance for rain, mainly towards the state line. A steady cooling trend will bring our temperatures back down to normal for the New Year.

FRIDAY: AM Fog/Drizzle, Rain Becoming Likely
High: 47
Wind: SE 10-20 mph

TONIGHT: Rain Likely, Breezy
Low: 44
Wind: SE 10-20 G 25 mph

SATURDAY: Mild, Slight Rain Chance Early, Mostly Cloudy
High: 50

SUNDAY: Mostly Cloudy, Slight Rain Chance South
High: 44

MONDAY: Mostly Cloudy
High: 43

TUESDAY: Slight Mix Chance South, Mostly Cloudy
High: 39

MINNEAPOLIS — Authorities in western Wisconsin say a correctional officer died after a suspected drunk driver struck his vehicle on the morning of Christmas Eve.

The Dunn County Sheriff’s Office says Jeff Reynolds was driving westbound on U.S. Highway 29 around 2:44 a.m. on Tuesday when a driver in a northbound vehicle failed to stop at a stop sign on County Highway E, striking Reynolds’s vehicle.

Reynolds had been on his way to fill in a shift at the county jail at the time of the accident.

The suspected drunk driver, a 40-year-old man from Eau Claire, has been charged with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, the sheriff’s office says. He had his first court appearance on Thursday, where the judge set a $75,000 bond.

Three other people, including the suspect’s wife, were also injured in the crash.

The Dunn County Sheriff’s Office says Reynolds began his career there in 2007 and will be greatly missed.

The crash is under investigation by the Wisconsin State Patrol.
