The Wisconsin Badgers were one of the finalists for 4-star linebacker Tate Wallace. The No. 2 player in the state of Iowa chose the Minnesota Golden Gophers over Wisconsin, Arizona State, and even Iowa State. Minnesota lands its third 4-star commit and is now passing Wisconsin in the recruiting rankings for 2027.
Wallace has over 15 offers, but ultimately zeroed in on Minnesota, scheduling a visit at the end of May, but deciding that’s where he wanted to play next season before it took place. This is a perplexing decision for Wallace, but in the recruiting world, you never fully know what will happen and which recruits will land well.
Four-star LB Tate Wallace commits to Minnesota.Cites linebackers coach Mariano Sori-Marin as a big reason. Gophers win what was a battle down the stretch with Wisconsin, Arizona State and others.https://t.co/85zqejGuU7pic.twitter.com/3P5t8zIKmZ
