Tayshon Bardo is yet to wear the Wisconsin Badgers football uniform but as early as now he is already making an impact on the team – through recruitment.
Three-star wide receiver Zachary Washington posted about his upcoming visit to the Badgers and Bardo, who already committed to the team, jumped in to cheer the Class of 2026 prospect.

Tayshor Bardo already getting comfortable with Badgers
Bardo is definitely bought in to become a Badger. He was recruited by wide receivers coach Jordan Reid by personally visiting him in his house.
He is yet to play for the team but he is already cementing his legacy through constant social media presence promoting the program and forging bond with players and coaches.
In his X account, he posted about his time the campus.
