MADISON – The Wisconsin football program received an immediate return on its first big weekend of official visits.
Jai Jones, a four-star prospect who can play receiver or cornerback, announced his commitment to the Badgers Sunday May 31. He was one of 19 players on campus for official visits this weekend, a group that included all 13 of the players who previously committed to the program.
The 6-foot-2, 175-pound athlete from Chandler, Arizona, shared news of his commitment with Rivals, which said he chose UW over Arizona and California. He is projected to play receiver for the Badgers.
He later reposted the graphic that announced his commitment.
Competition was stiff for Jones. He announced 26 Division I offers that included 17 from Power Four programs. Big Ten rivals Oregon, Washington, Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota and UCLA offered in addition to Wisconsin.
The commitment pushed Wisconsin’s 2027 class three sports to No. 17 in 247sports ranking early Sunday afternoon. The Badgers class is ranked No. 24 in the Rivals/On3 rankings.
