The 2026 Class is looking good for the Wisconsin Badgers. That is if they can take to the next level their courting of Tayshon Bardo, the no. 1 overall wide receiver from Indiana.
Bardo took to X to announce that he will make an official visit to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, captioning it with “locked in.”

Bardo is a member of the Class of 2026 with a rating of 87 from 247 Sports. He is a coveted wide receiver with interests from Vanderbilt, Cincinnati, Ball State, and Bowling Green.
He is set to visit three other programs in June other than Wisconsin.
Bardo is just one of many top recruits Wisconsin has approached from Class of 2026.
Tayshon Bardo’s interesting history with Wisconsin Badgers
People who have been following Badgers’ offseason moves should find Bardo’s name familiar.
This is because he has a history with wide receivers coach Jordan Reid
The two connected last January and that meeting went viral for fun reasons.
Reid visited Bardo in the player’s home in Indiana and had a game in Playstation. Reid got blasted and Bardo put their moment together on Tiktok that went viral.
He put in the caption: “POV: you had a in home visit with Wisconsin and 40 balled they receiver coach in ncaa.”

If things go smooth for Badgers, they can have a formidable line up in 2026 with Bardo.
