Wisconsin gets commitment from 4-star TE Jack Sievers, but OLB Carmelow Reed flips to SEC program

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.

“This was not an easy choice,” he wrote. “I want to personally thank Coach Fickell, Coach Reid, Coach Grimes, Zach Zilm, Ethan Russo and Pat Lambert for believing in me, investing in me and taking the time to build a genuine relationship throughout the process. Every conversation, every visit, and every moment spent learning about Wisconsin meant a great deal to me and my family.”

AAA expects 1.5 million holiday travelers from Wisconsin

GRAND CHUTE, Wis. (WBAY) – Wisconsin is experiencing a winter storm as almost 1.5 million Wisconsinites are expected to travel this holiday week.

Wednesday is one of the busiest travel days of the year. AAA expects highways to be the busiest in the afternoon — all afternoon.

“We’re looking at 11 to 8 pm, so that entire afternoon stretch from around lunchtime to even after dinner time is when we’re expecting the critical mass of people to be out on the roads, so if you can leave safely before that, that’s the better option,” AAA Director of Public Affairs Nick Jarmusz said.

FIRST ALERT TRAFFIC: Highway traffic maps and links to airport arrival/departure times

Police remind drivers of the “If you can steer it, clear it” law. If you’re in a collision and your vehicle is still operable, move it out of traffic.

Jarmusz also says over 140,000 Wisconsinites are expected to fly to their destinations for Thanksgiving.

At the time of this writing Wednesday morning, the majority of departures in Green Bay, Appleton, Milwaukee and Chicago O’Hare were on-time.
