Episode Details

College football recruiting just got a whole lot richer—with six-figure deals now standard for top prospects. Teams are under pressure to deliver on hype, and Wisconsin’s 2026 class, lacking any consensus four-stars, is turning to its own rising stars. Offensive tackle Kevin Heywood, once sidelined by injury, is now a frame-filling right tackle candidate with pro potential. Running back Darrion Dupree, a four-star recruit, led the team in rushing last year and is evolving into a versatile third-down weapon. And outside linebacker Nick Clayton, with elite speed and pass-rushing instincts, is poised to become Wisconsin’s answer on the edge—just what the defense needs to replace last year’s losses.
