Wisconsin Badgers loss of top RB recruit Amari Latimer could foreshadow another key departure

Latimer flips commitment to West Virginia, dealing a major recruiting blow to Wisconsin for the 2026 class.
Latimer had committed to Wisconsin since June, marking a long-standing pledge before the flip.
The flip drops Wisconsin's 2026 class ranking from 47th to 60th nationally, affecting Big Ten standings.
Latimer's departure could influence the Wisconsin cornerback room, potentially affecting depth next season.
Wisconsin could turn to the transfer portal to add experienced help at running back or other positions.
Latimer's flip follows a wave of 2026 commits retracting pledges, signaling a tougher recruitment cycle for Wisconsin.
Latimer had explored interest from Tennessee, Ohio State, and Georgia Tech before flipping to West Virginia.
Latimer's signing with West Virginia puts him under coach Rich Rodriguez, a former Jacksonville State mentor.
Other Wisconsin recruits remained committed, including Qwantavius Wiggins, who signed with the Badgers.
Latimer's move could prompt Wisconsin to reassess its recruiting philosophy for the 2026 class.
