Wisconsin Football Commitment Watch: Impressive 2026 RB Target Nearing Potential Announcement

While Latimer has not been on campus in some time since the last two visits, the Wisconsin football staff has done virtually all that can be done. The decision is in the hands of the running back and the staff cannot do anything but patiently wait for the announcement like the Badgers fans have.

Wisconsin Football Program Likely Still Leading Race for Amari Latimer

For Wisconsin, Latimer is the perfect fit for the program and the running back position in particular which makes the potential of landing a commitment from the recruit major for the staff. Wisconsin does not want to let a great talent like Latimer walk away and the recruit has been the primary focus of the recruiting staff as of late.

On the field, Latimer is a dynamic running back that has largely gone under-the-radar throughout his recruitment. Latimer is a three-star recruit but has been considered to be a four-star snub and an offer list longer than some top recruits speaks for itself. Georgia, Texas, Michigan, and Ohio State have all been involved with Latimer alongside Wisconsin.

Currently, the Wisconsin football staff has young talent at running back in Dilin Jones, Darrion Dupree, and Gideon Ituka. However, none of the current talent the Wisconsin football staff has brought in offer quite the same package as Latimer.

The running back stays low to the ground and bowls over opposing defenders once a head of steam has been gained. Latimer also does not shy away from contact nor does the recruit back away from receiving situations either.
