Janda's Shift: Iowa Gains, Wisconsin Adjusts

Highly-touted athlete Jack Janda shifts commitment from Wisconsin to Iowa, leaving Badgers recruiting class in flux. Janda, a six-foot-six, two hundred fifty-pound standout from Detroit Catholic Central High School, will now play as a defensive lineman for the Hawkeyes. His departure from Wisconsins offensive plans leaves the Badgers with fourteen players committed to their two thousand twenty-six recruiting class. Jandas impressive defensive performance this past season, including thirty-five tackles and seventeen sacks, caught the attention of Iowa, who saw his potential as a defensive player. Wisconsin still has one tight end committed, Jack Sievers, for their future offensive plans. This development highlights the dynamic nature of college football recruiting and the competitive landscape where commitments can shift.
