Of the Wisconsin Badgers' 21 commitments, five of those are on the offensive line.
Unsurprisingly, all five are in-state recruits. Recently, they were able to flip Pewaukee native, Jack Tabbert, from North Dakota State University.
Tabbert previously committed to NDSU on March 28, 2026, before he flipped on June 7. Even though he's an unranked recruit on 247Sports, that shouldn't take anything away from the 6-foot-5, 260-pounder.
As an interior offensive lineman, Tabbert joins Hunter and Reece Mallinger in that department. Elsewhere, they have true offensive tackles in Cole Reiter and Ethan McIntosh.
Again, take nothing against Tabbert; this is just an incredible class Luke Fickell's squad has put together. If anything, it goes to show that Tabbert wants to play the best of the best and once again, Wisconsin has outclassed remarkable schools to have things go its way.
Reece's brother, Hunter, is one of the highest-rated recruits coming to Madison in 2027. Again, that's not a knock on Reece, far from it, and it's well documented that the 6-foot-6, 285-pounder will do everything in his power not to let his brother outshine him.
The margins between this No. 3 and No. 4 spot are extremely thin. According to 247Sports, McIntosh is the No. 9 player in the state, while Mallinger is No. 10. That's a battle in the making, though one is listed as a tackle while the other is a lineman.
As good as Hunter is, he's still not the type of offensive lineman in the Badgers' class of 2027. Currently, he's listed at 6-foot-6, 290 pounds, which makes him the second biggest man in the trenches. Compared to Reiter, who clocks in at No. 1, this is another battle as Mallinger is No. 4 in the state while Reiter is No. 3.
At 6-foot-7, 315 pounds, Reiter is a top 20 offensive tackle in the nation. His size, speed, and everything in between set him apart, and he's nearly a lock to see the field, as long as he stays in Madison for the foreseeable future.
