Miles Mitchell, One of the Nation’s Most Coveted Quarterback Prospects, Commits to Wisconsin Badgers in Monumental Recruiting Victory

Madison, Wis. — In a move that sent ripples through the college football recruiting landscape, five-star quarterback Miles Mitchell has officially committed to the University of Wisconsin, giving the Badgers one of their most significant recruiting victories in recent memory.

Mitchell, a 6-foot-4, 215-pound dual-threat quarterback from Frisco, Texas, had offers from nearly every major program in the country, including Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, and USC. But after months of speculation, official visits, and intense recruiting battles, the highly touted signal-caller announced on Tuesday that he would be heading to Madison to play for head coach Luke Fickell and offensive coordinator Phil Longo.

In an exclusive interview following his announcement, Mitchell cited Wisconsin’s “family atmosphere,” the coaching staff’s clear vision for the program, and the opportunity to make history as the driving factors in his decision.

> “When I visited Madison, it just felt different,” Mitchell said. “The people here care about you beyond football. Coach Fickell laid out a plan for my development, both on and off the field, and I believe in what they’re building. I want to be a part of something special, and I think we can win championships here.”

Mitchell’s commitment marks a notable milestone for Wisconsin, a program historically known for its dominant run game and powerful offensive lines. In recent years, however, the Badgers have shifted toward a more balanced and explosive offensive approach under Longo, who previously developed prolific passing attacks at North Carolina and Ole Miss.

Longo said Mitchell’s skill set is a “perfect fit” for the Badgers’ evolving offense.

> “Miles brings a rare combination of arm talent, athleticism, and leadership,” Longo said. “He can make every throw on the field, extend plays with his legs, and elevate the players around him. This is a game-changer for our program.”

The Badgers’ 2025 recruiting class was already ranked in the national top 15 before Mitchell’s pledge, but his addition is expected to catapult Wisconsin into the top 10. Recruiting analysts believe Mitchell’s decision could also have a domino effect, attracting other elite skill position players to Madison.

Steve Wilcox, a Midwest recruiting analyst for 247Sports, called the commitment “the type of recruiting win that can redefine a program.”

> “You don’t just land a quarterback like Miles Mitchell every year,” Wilcox said. “This is a statement that Wisconsin is serious about competing with the best in the country—not just in the Big Ten, but nationally.”

Mitchell’s high school career has been nothing short of spectacular. Over three varsity seasons, he has thrown for more than 8,000 yards and 95 touchdowns while adding over 1,500 rushing yards and 22 scores on the ground. He is widely regarded for his poise under pressure, quick decision-making, and ability to deliver in big moments.

For Wisconsin fans, the news couldn’t have come at a better time. With the Badgers transitioning into the expanded Big Ten and facing an increasingly competitive national landscape, landing a player of Mitchell’s caliber provides a major boost in both talent and momentum.

Social media erupted within minutes of the announcement, with current and former Badgers players posting congratulatory messages. The university’s official football account posted a simple yet powerful statement: “The future is bright in Madison. Welcome, Miles Mitchell.”

Mitchell plans to graduate early from Frisco Ridge High School and enroll at Wisconsin in January, allowing him to participate in spring practices.

> “I’m ready to get to work,” Mitchell said. “We’re going to build something great here, and I want to be on the front line of that journey.”

For Wisconsin, that journey now includes one of the most coveted quarterback prospects in the nation—an athlete whose decision could mark the beginning of a new era in Badgers football.
