Wisconsin Badgers football and tight ends coach Nate Letton had a double victory when they got to sign Emmett Bork. They got a quality tight end and prevented him from signing with a Big Ten rival.
The Oconomowoc-native decommitted from Michigan State on October and decided to “stay home” through an announcement he made on X.
STAYING HOME‼️❤️🤍🦡#JumpAroundMadTown25 #OnWisconsin @NateLetton @_maximus347 @CoachFick @CoachPhilLongo @PatLambert13 @RoseBrandon_ @CoachSpalding_ @CoachBlaz @BCstrength @JaredThompsonUW @__izayahh @CaseyRabach_61 @EwaldTaylor @RunMoFelix @Coachleerose @CoachGSquared… pic.twitter.com/YVcjFktIE9

He capped off junior year with the Oconomowoc Raccoon Football team with an All-Classic 8 Conference honors after finishing with 23 catches and 322 yards. He also had three touchdowns.
He is a three-star prospect according to Badger 247 and listed by talent evaluators as the No. 1,284 player in the class of 2025. He is 68th in his position and the 13th best player in Wisconsin.
Bork may be a big man – 6’5 – but he is described as someone capable of making sudden, quick shifts. His best asset is creating separation with his strength and speed.
Nate Letton thinks Emmett Bork got all the tools
Letton is one of those who were instrumental in bringing in Bork to the team and while others refer to the player as a “quiet great addition, the coach thinks there’s something to be excited about.
He emphasized though that the young man is still a project but he already got the fundamentals to get to where he should go.
“I’m really excited about where he’s at but, I’m sure you guys don’t know the intricacies of the offense but you watched it, there’s a lot going on out there,” Letton told Badgers writer Evan Flood.
“For a young guy, he’s exposure to different football, it’s gonna take a little bit of time and learning curve but he’s got all the tools we’re looking for. I’m very excited about where he can go.
