Wisconsin Badgers: Early Top 2028 Prospect Gaining Strong Interest Ahead of Breakout Season

Owens is a versatile and physical defender who often finds himself in the middle of the action regardless of where the play ends. The edge rusher impressed last season with his speed off the line and ability to disrupt plays in the backfield. Weighing in at roughly 220-pounds, Owens packs a punch in his hits despite not fully filling out his frame yet.

The Badgers staff learned in previous classes that different levels of talent will come off of the board at different times, and being early to the party is crucial. While the Wisconsin Badgers have offered many players across the 2027 and 2028 classes, the ones receiving the most attention this early are the recruits that the staff fears will make a decision the quickest.

For Owens, a decision on his collegiate future seems like something that is still months out from becoming a little clearer, but Wisconsin is not going to take any chances. Recently, the staff began to display interest in Owens who has been in contact with multiple Big Ten Conference programs. Illinois, Indiana, and Purdue have all been involved with the edge rusher early and aim to lock-down the recruit before possible national attention hits.

The upcoming season for Owens will be a telling one as the recruit has all the tools and size to make a serious impact on the field. Another successful campaign for Owens will also mean bigger, better offers should flood the inbox for the recruit. Getting in touch and establishing a connection with Owens is crucial at this junction for the Wisconsin Badgers staff before the recruit becomes too big to reach.
