Wisconsin Badgers Land Commitment From 2025 QB Landyn Locke
Wisconsin Badgers OC Phil Longo continued his pillaging of Texas for quarterback recruits, landing a commitment from 2025 QB Landyn Locke.
Madison, Wis. – Last month, Wisconsin football offensive coordinator Phil Longo traveled to Rockwall, Texas, to evaluate a recruit with strong ties to the program in person.
That recruit was 2025 signal caller Landyn Locke, the younger brother of Mississippi State transfer Braedyn Locke, a redshirt freshman the Badgers coveted once he entered the portal.
After impressing Longo during the workout, the Wisconsin coaching staff wasted no time offering him a scholarship and got Locke on campus for an unofficial visit that quickly led to him becoming commitment No. 1 in the 2025 cycle.
"I went up there for a week," Locke told Jon McNamara. "I've never been up to Wisconsin, so it was my first time seeing everything in person. It's going to sound cliché, but I fell in love with Wisconsin."
The 6-foot-4, 180-pound quarterback chose UW over early offers from Miami, SMU, Tulsa, and Western Kentucky. Texas, Baylor, Houston, Texas Tech, TCU, and Virginia also expressed interest in Locke.

Say what you want about the man, but Phil Longo is an absolute menace on the recruiting trail--particularly when it comes to plucking quarterbacks out of Texas.
