The Wisconsin Badgers have added another player to their 2025 class after flipping Oconomowoc tight end Emmett Bork from Michigan State. He is a three-star recruit on 247 Sports.
Bork was in attendance for the Wisconsin-Penn State game on Saturday. The standout at Oconomowoc High School becomes the Badgers sixth in-state commit in the 2025 class, joining offensive tackle Michael Roeske, defensive linemen Torin Pettaway, safety Grant Dean, linebacker Cooper Catalano and kicker Erik Schmidt.
With the addition of Emmett Bork in the 2025 recruiting class, the Badgers now have six in-state commits who will be on scholarship that are expected to sign. That’s the most in-state prospects Wisconsin has landed since 2021.
The Wisconsin Badgers has produced the 9th most NFL starting tight ends in the modern-day NFL. They are tied with Alabama for most productive NFL tight ends.
Badgers head coach Luke Fickell is simply demolishing UW average recruiting class rankings. If you consistently recruit 17th ranked classes, the team will be consistently ranked, fueling recruiting going forward.
