The 2027 recruitment class for the Wisconsin football team has the potential to be the greatest of Luke Fickell’s tenure. They have aggressively pursued in-state prospects, signing eight of the top ten players, including four 4-star claiber prospects.
Now, they have made probably their most significant addition to the class, 4-star quarterback Jack Sorgi, the son of former Wisconsin quarterback Jim Sorgi.
The legacy prospect had been committed to Louisville before decommitting in March, and Wisconsin immediately joined the pursuit. Current commits utilized social media to actively recruit Sorgi. It took less than two months, and he committed to the Badgers.
Recruiting Profile: Jack Sorgi
- Class: 2027
- Position: QB
- High School: Tri-West High School (Lizton, IN)
- Height and Weight: 6-4, 205 pounds.
- 247Sports Rating: 4-star, No. 23 quarterback in the country, No. 7 overall player in Indiana.
The Resume:
Junior Season (2025): Completed 61. 2% of his throws (178/291) for 2,911 yards, 31 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. Led Tri-West to a 7-4 record and a lengthy playoff run.
Sophomore Season (2024): Burst onto the scene with 1,729 passing yards and 19 touchdowns, with only 4 interceptions.
Multi-Sport Background: Sorgi was a standout on the diamond, being ranked among the top 25 baseball prospects in Indiana (Prep Baseball Report). His agility is confirmed by a 4. 73-second 40-yard dash and a 9. 5-inch hand size, which is exceptional for ball security in a cold-weather attack.
Awards include Consensus Top-200 national prospect and 2025 All-Conference selection.
The Verdict
By acquiring a quarterback early in the cycle, the Badgers not only secured a cornerstone for the class, but also brought in an outstanding recruiter to the program. The current commits have been highly active on social media, urging additional prospective recruits to join the team.
Now, the class’ quarterback can join these efforts and play the role of recruiter during official trips. Having the quarterback on board so early makes a significant impact, particularly given that Wisconsin will host a number of top remaining targets this summer.
Having the quarterback on board makes a big difference.
The Badgers have nine commitments for their 2027 class, including Sorgi.
According to 247Sports’ Team Rankings, the Badgers are presently ranked No. 17 in the country and sixth in the Big Ten.
