Where Wisconsin’s best senior OL are heading for college
Where Wisconsin’s best senior OL are heading for college
RICHIE FLANIGAN – Notre Dame Academy | Notre DameWas seen as an equally viable four-star recruit on either side of the ball but future is now clearly as a center or guard where his explosiveness and intangibles are big assets.
COLE REITER – Germantown | WisconsinA prototype at 6’7, 315 pounds. Also plays basketball. Probably a college right tackle. Chose Wisconsin over Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and others.

Lined up at both guard and tackle and gives the Badgers some options as to where to play him at the next level, but he is physical and athletic at his size.
REECE MALLINGER – Sussex Hamilton | WisconsinHeading to Madison with his brother. Has a 6’6, 300+ pound frame and we liked how he competed at Under Armour Chicago. May be a right tackle but also offers some versatility. Strong, physical and fits well into a good Badger OL class.
JACK TABBERT – Pewaukee | WisconsinWent to Badger camp and earned an offer (was previously committed to NDSU). Will transition to center. Has all the physical tools as well as intangibles to do very well at that spot.
CADE REIKOWSKI – Pewaukee | NorthwesternNorthwestern offered early and it paid dividends. 6’7, 290 pounds and throws in track and field and plays basketball. Got a big Rivals bump to four stars this summer.

JAMAIL SEWELL – Wisconsin Lutheran | MinnesotaSpeaking of high upside, Sewell is 6’7, 280 pounds and moves very well on the basketball court. Goes to a place in Minnesota who has developed similar players. Potential steal for the Gophers.
BRADY MORANSKI – Germantown | Wake ForestLeft tackle in high school who is capable of playing several spots in college. Quick off the ball and added good weight and strength this off-season.
PEYTON SCHUSTER – Waterford | Wake ForestWake did good work in Wisconsin this cycle with Moranski and then Schuster, a 6’6, 275-pound recruit who they flipped from Wyoming. Has a wrestling background combined with that big frame.

SAM SCHMIDT – West De Pere | Western MichiganAnother good OL pick-up for the Broncos. Schmidt is 6’5, 275 pounds. Was a huge piece of his team’s state title last season. Physical, mean and tenacious.
ORVILLE BLOHM – Winnebago Lutheran | Western MichiganHad a good season and followed it up impressing college coaches in offseason workouts. Wrestling background shows up in his leverage and strength as a run blocker.
EVAN LEIBFRIED – Mount Horeb | Northern IllinoisHas a great frame at 6’7, 260 pounds with a basketball background and a 6’10 wingspan. Surprised us that a Big Ten school didn’t go on him. Huskies get a gem as a result.

RILEY BUDDE – Brookfield Central | Northern IllinoisGreat frame at 6’6. Thrower in track and field along with that. Has been able to add good weight and trajectory is heading in the right direction.
TRENTON HARRIS – Racine Case | LibertyWill be a four-year varsity starter. Strong, technically sound and should be a center for the Flames but could also play some guard.
COLE CARL – Brookfield Central | Northern MichiganNMU staff has done a nice job on the trail this cycle. Carl is a 6’4. 275-lb mauler who plays tackle in high school but will probably kick inside in college.

AUSTIN KOSS – Franklin | Minnesota-Duluth6’5, 260 pounds and a good mover with quick feet at that size. Had a variety of schools looking at him but found a home with Duluth.
LUKE GRUBE – West Salem | North DakotaHad a good handful of offers before choosing UND. High school left tackle who is probably a college guard. Very good at pulling and making blocks in space. Runaway freight train in the open field.
ELI GRAND – Ellsworth | Wisconsin Eau ClaireStrong, stout interior prospect who the Blugolds are happy to keep inside the state. Two-way player who will play offense in college.
