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.
VIDEO: Who are the best Wisconsin high school athletes of all time?
As part of a USA TODAY project looking at the greatest athletes ever, we’re identifying Wisconsin’s best in several high school sports.
On May 14, we debuted the third in a series of reader polls asking who you consider the best high school girls basketball players in Wisconsin history, with 10 primary suggestions. We received nearly 1,800 votes, and here’s how people voted:
Sonja Henning voted as most impactful player in Wisconsin high school girls basketball history
Former Racine Horlick standout Sonja Henning was the reader’s choice for the best girls basketball player in state history after receiving 608 votes.
The lightning-quick Henning, a Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame inductee in 2010, scored 2,236 points as a four-year starter at Horlick. When her high school career ended in 1987, she was the leading girls scorer in state history.
Henning was a two-time first-team all-state pick and the state’s Ms. Basketball winner in 1987, when she also made the Parade All-America team.
She continued her basketball career at Stanford, helping the Cardinal to the 1990 national championship and earning All-America honors as a senior.
After leaving Stanford, she played in several professional leagues before joining the WNBA and helping the Houston Comets win the league title in 1999. She spent most of the next three seasons with the Seattle Storm before ending her WNBA career in 2003 with the Indiana Fever.
While Henning was the top choice, she wasn’t the only popular one.
