Wisconsin Football Targets 2026 Quarterback Michael White Following Camp Performance

During a recent camp with the Wisconsin football staff, 2026 quarterback Michael White dazzled and impressed the staff. White, an Indiana native attending Homestead High School, has heard from plenty of schools since the period from staff to contact 2026 recruits has opened up. The quarterback listed the Wisconsin football program, Louisville, Purdue, Notre Dame, Toledo, and Eastern Michigan among the programs that have been in contact.
When asked about which programs have shown the most interest, White responded, “Louisville, Purdue, and Wisconsin seem to be the most interested so far.”
White also stated, “Coach Longo is the one who reached out to my high school coach and has shown love, as well as Coach rose.” The quarterback has had two primary points of contact within the Wisconsin football staff who are Quarterbacks Coach Phil Longo and Senior Offensive Analyst Lee Rose.
Michael White: “I Feel I’m a Very Athletic Quarterback That Can Throw the Ball”

As a quarterback in this day and age, there are plenty of different play style that are being represented on the field. The time of just pocket passing all the way down the field is no more, and White is a perfect example of what an all-around quarterback looks like.
When asked about his play style as a quarterback, White stated, “I like to play out of a gun formation and I love to pass the ball.” White also went on to state, “I feel like I’m a very athletic quarterback that can throw the ball or use his legs if needed.”
On the field, White displays expert accuracy and an extremely strong arm as well. The quarterback throws with confidence, but if he needs to he has the speed to escape the pocket and make a play with his legs. White is not just a drive-extending runner either, but a serious running threat on the field.
Wisconsin Badgers Football Staff Showing Major Interest in White Early On

White was open about the level of interest the Wisconsin football staff has shown, and also stated that he has “loved” the interest. The quarterback admitted that he has only spent “little” time around the staff during their lone meeting at camp, but feels a great connection already. White also expressed interest in the possibility of receiving an upcoming scholarship offer from the Wisconsin football staff.
When asked about his recruitment at this point, White stated, “I love coach Longo from the time I have spent with him. I have also grown a relationship with Louisville a lot last season and would like to hear more from them.” The quarterback stated that Purdue and Louisville have also shown major interest in his abilities, which could put some early pressure on the Wisconsin football staff.
