Since the opening of the 2026 recruiting period, the Wisconsin football staff has been in contact with a three-star offensive tackle.
Owen Winder, a three-star 2026 offensive tackle from Michigan, has been in close contact with the Wisconsin football staff. Winder currently holds nine scholarship offers including two from power conferences. While he does not have an offer yet, it is only a matter of time before the Wisconsin football staff pulls the trigger.
Wisconsin Football Staff Keeping Close Eye on Offensive Tackle Owen Winder

After the opening of the 2026 recruiting period, the Wisconsin football staff began putting their focus towards three-star offensive tackle Owen Winder. Winder, a Michigan native, currently holds nine scholarships including offers from Kentucky, Duke, and Toledo.
The offensive lineman tells Wisconsin Sports Heroics that he has been in contact with Wisconsin, Michigan State, BYU, and Kansas the most. While it is still early, Winder expressed interest in each program and also added that Michigan is a program he would love to be in contact with in the future.
Owen Winder: “I Am Open to All Opportunities”

For Winder, the college recruitment process is all about finding the right landing spot no matter where it might be. Winder acknowledged that he has been in contact with plenty of teams, but does not have any real order to the teams. When asked about what teams he would consider to be “high interest”, Winder stated, “The programs I have the most interest in are Wisconsin, BYU, Kansas, Michigan State, and Michigan, but I am open to all opportunities.”
Wisconsin Badgers Football Staff Loving Size, Potential of Winder

For the Wisconsin football staff, Winder provides excellent size and ability while his potential remains through the roof. The offensive tackle has only been playing football for two full years now and believes he has gotten to this point because of his ability to be coached.
Standing in at 6-feet-6-inches, roughly 270-pounds, Winder has a tremendous frame and already plays like an experienced blocker whilst still having limited experience. With more time and repetitions, Winder could certainly develop into an excellent lineman at the collegiate level.
