Two Wisconsin Badgers recruits get high 'Impact Score' grades from CBS Sports

The Wisconsin Badgers are getting plenty of praise for two recent high-profile recruiting wins.

Luke Fickell's 2026 class got a huge boost in the form of four-star running back Amari Latimer and four-star wide receiver Jayden Petit, and CBS Sports sees them as high-impact recruits.

Their analysts handed out grades for college football commitments on a 1-10 scale dubbed the "Commitment Impact Score," and these two Badgers recruits received high marks.

Petit received a 9 out of 10, which falls in the category of "game-changer" who they expect to make an immediate impact in 2026.

Latimer wasn't far behind him with a high grade of his own at 8 out of 10.

That's put him in the next category down, deemed a "strong add." Both players are major wins for Fickell and his staff, showing their strong recruiting ability despite coming off of a down 2024 season.

The roster won't feel the impact of Latimer and Petit until next year, but their presence signals to other recruits that Wisconsin remains a desirable destination.
