Wisconsin football secures commitment from offensive tackle Cam Clark for 2025 class
Wisconsin’s Luke Fickell on the final push of spring practice
When Luke Fickell met with the media Tuesday, he also shared his thoughts on the quarterback battle, Hunter Wohler’s leadership and other topics.
MADISON — Wisconsin offensive line coach AJ Blazek has been busy rebuilding his unit’s depth.
Cam Clark, an offensive tackle from Dexter, Michigan, on Thursday announced he has committed to UW for the 2025 class.
Clark’s commitment comes one day after Joey Okla, a graduate of Arrowhead High School, announced he is transferring to UW from Illinois; and three days after Leyton Nelson announced he plans to transfer from Vanderbilt.
Clark, 6-foot-7 and 275 pounds, is the second offensive lineman and the ninth player overall in UW’s 2025 class.
He reportedly held offers from Kentucky, Kansas, Minnesota, Cincinnati and others.

With the release of EA Sports College Football 27 right around the corner, it’s fun to look at how the video game sees the Wisconsin Badgers.
These past two seasons have been down years, no doubt, but Luke Fickell did a great job in the portal this offseason and has begun to rebuild what was once one of the most prestigious programs in the nation.
This article can’t possibly include every Badgers player in the game, but their overall rankings range from 64 to 85.
Wisconsin’s sixth-highest-ranked player is a kicker, and that should say everything you need to know about how EA Sports feels about this team.

Reaction to Shawn Eichorst as potentially the next Wisconsin AD
On the Terrace View podcast, John Steppe and Mark Stewart give initial thoughts on reported connection between Shawn Eichorst and open UW AD job.
MADISON – Shawn Eichorst will start as Wisconsin’s athletic director with a higher annual salary than his predecessor.
Eichorst will make an annual salary of $1.6 million along with built-in annual increases and incentives, a university spokesman told the Journal Sentinel.
That is above Chris McIntosh’s $1.5 million annual salary for the 2025-26 academic year. (That consisted of $1 million from the university and $500,000 from the UW Foundation.) McIntosh’s salary was set to increase by $50,000 for each year of his contract, which would have gone through June 30, 2029.
It also is well above Marcus Sedberry’s $875,000 annual salary for the nearly three months when he was interim AD. Sedberry’s salary is set to return to $334,805 “plus any intervening pay adjustments,” according to the offer letter from April.
An open records request from the Journal Sentinel for Eichorst’s contract, which will include more details about the increases and incentives, is pending.
Eichorst previously served as the deputy AD and chief operating officer at Texas for the last eight years. He also was Miami’s AD in 2011-12 and Nebraska’s AD from 2012-17. Before Miami, the Lone Rock native spent five years working with the Badgers under Barry Alvarez.
A 9-year-old child died Tuesday evening after drowning in a western Wisconsin water park.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office says first responders were called to the Campfire Cove Aqua Park in Rural Balsam Lake, Wisconsin, around 8:15 p.m.
Though they attempted lifesaving measures, the child died at the scene.
The incident is under investigation, the sheriff’s office says.
