Wisconsin football key class of 2026 target, defensive lineman Ben Duncum, will announce his commitment on Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET, 1 p.m. CT.
Duncum released that decision date on Monday afternoon. The three-star lineman is currently choosing between Wisconsin, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and Kentucky.
247Sports currently ranks the Austin, Texas, native as the No. 91 defensive lineman in the class of 2026 and the No. 107 recruit from his home state. The recruiting service has yet to log a crystal ball prediction for his commitment decision. It does note that he took official visits to Oklahoma State on June 5, Wisconsin on June 13, Kansas State on June 16 and Kentucky on June 20. For what it’s worth, On3 lists Kentucky as the prohibitive favorite at 89.6%.
Wisconsin’s class of 2026 currently ranks No. 40 in the nation with 13 commitments. That group has two defensive linemen committed: Djidjou Bah and Arthur Scott. Duncum’s potential addition would further bolster the position, plus give the class its first commitment since June 15.
However, as of June 24, Wisconsin would need to pull a last-minute shocker to lure the three-star defensive lineman away from the Wildcats.
