Wisconsin offers class of 2026 edge rusher from North Carolina

The Wisconsin Badgers football team offered Elijah Littlejohn, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound class of 2026 edge rusher from Charlotte, North Carolina on Tuesday. The sophomore at West Charlotte High School has started to rack up offers even though he’s still two years away from potentially making the leap to the collegiate level.

To this point, Littlejohn has now picked up 11 Division 1 offers, including Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin from within the Big Ten while North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas A&M have also extended scholarships.

His overall size at his age is rather impressive and if he continues to grow and progress as an athlete, there’s no doubt that he’ll have the ability to attend pretty much any school in the country.

Wisconsin had a disappointing 2023 campaign and under head coach Luke Fickell, there has been an emphasis on adding size to the defense moving forward. So far in the class of 2026, Wisconsin has yet to receive any commitments while offering 16 edge rushers through April.

Four-star receiver Jayden Petit decommits from Wisconsin football’s 2026 class

MADISON – Jayden Petit, one of the top-rated prospects in the Wisconsin football program’s 2026 class, changed his mind.

Wednesday, Nov. 26 the receiver from Naples, Florida, announced his decommitment from the Badgers.

He had been committed to UW since June. 26. His departure leaves the Badgers’ recruiting class at 13 players that include one receiver.

Petit, who lists himself as 6-foot-4 and 216 pounds on his X profile, attends St. John Neumann High School where he helped the football team reach the second round of the playoffs.

Petit is considered a consensus four-star prospect. He will play in he Navy All-American Bowl on Jan. 10 in San Antonio.

He announced his decommitment on X. It came hours after the Badgers received a commitment from former Boston College recruit Brady Bekkenhuis and one week before the beginning of the early signing period.

“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.
