Wisconsin Football Lands Dynamic 2026 DL Djidjou Bah

Wisconsin has worked to develop a new culture in Madison, and along the defensive line a new mindset and play-style is incoming. Bah is a prototypical player that Wisconsin is looking on defense and could become an instant contributor once he hits campus in the future.

The Wisconsin football staff swung in last minute and landed Bah over Michigan State, NC State, Indiana, and Iowa among other schools.

Bah joins the 2026 class for the Wisconsin football program as the third commitment of a huge recruiting day. The Badgers kicked off the day with the commitment of fellow three-star defensive lineman Arthur Scott  of Ohio. Later, the Wisconsin football staff added in-state three-star linebacker Ben Wenzel to the class.

Wisconsin Football Staff Lands 2026 DL Djidjou Bah to Cap Off Massive Recruiting Day

After landing three-star defensive lineman Arthur Scott earlier in the day, the Wisconsin football staff doubled up with the three-star Tennessee native Bah.

Between Scott and Bah, Wisconsin adds nearly 570-pounds along the defensive line as the team moves to play more aggressively upfront. Wisconsin previously lacked some physicality and production on defense and the staff believes the right personnel is the true key to fixing the issue. Both Bah and Scott are players that the Wisconsin football staff would love to have an entire roster filled with.

What really makes Bah, and Scott, so special is the combination of physicality and aggressive play on the field. Bah is a physical monster and while the 6-foot-3-inch defender might not be the biggest player on the field, Bah makes his presence known.

The defensive lineman is also a powerful tackler with an array of rush moves that allows for Bah to get into the backfield. Bah is also a controlled player who is rarely going to act out of frustration or take a play off to try and rest.

Wisconsin now holds three commitments along the defensive line with Scott and Bah joining Carmelow Reed, a fellow 2026 three-star recruit. Reed, however, is a recruit who is considered to be on “flip watch” with Ole Miss hosting the recruit for a visit. Reed has yet to announce a change in commitment, and Wisconsin was confident enough to allow Reed to visit the Rebels which bodes well for his future with the Badgers program.
