Wisconsin football: While it may have been expected by more than a few folks out there, it still came as a considerable blow when Liam Andrews finally made his decision. The former Dexter School standout had the Wisconsin Badgers as part of his final shortlist of teams, but in the end, he opted to take his talents to Penn State.
Wisconsin Football: Liam Andrews Shuns Badgers, Commits to Penn State
Liam Andrews was one of the Badgers’ top recruits for 2024, which is why it was tough to see for Wisconsin fans that the DL decided to go in another direction. Andrews made his official announcement via Twitter on Friday:
Yeah, this if how I’m feeling. Happy Valley, I’m home!🦁💙🤍#Committed @Hayesfawcett3 pic.twitter.com/0cpxQARncN

Apart from Penn State and Wisconsin, Andrews also had South Carolina in his Top 3. The Badgers were reportedly the first to make their move on Andrews, but in the end, this really didn’t matter much.
Wisconsin Football: Noteable Badgers Recruits for 2024
While they may have missed out on Andrews, Wisconsin football fans can take comfort in the fact that they at least have had a handful of noteworthy names that have already committed for 2024.
One of the first names on the list has got to be quarterback Mabrey Mattauer from The Woodlands in Texas. At 6-foot-5 and 215 lbs, Mattaeur is considered as one of the first big commitments in the Luke Fickell era. Tight end Grant Stec rejected offers from the likes of Iowa and Michigan State in favor of a move to Wisconsin. Other notable recruits include OL Derek Jensen, LB Thomas Heberger, and LB Landon Gauthier, to name a few.
