Wisconsin football made the top five for class of 2026 edge defender Prince Williams on Thursday. The program was included with Miami, BYU, Arizona and Utah.
247Sports lists Williams as a three-star recruit. It specifically ranks him as the No. 559 overall player in the class of 2026, the No. 51 edge defender and the No. 3 recruit from his home state of Nevada. Those top five schools emerged from an offer sheet that also includes Arizona State, Cal, Florida, Iowa State, Tennessee, UCLA and Washington.
As of May 9, Williams does not have any official visits scheduled. That is sure to change in the coming weeks, with each school’s June visit schedule fast approaching. 247Sports has yet to release a prediction for the 6-foot-3 edge defender’s commitment decision, while On3 lists Miami as the prohibitive favorite at 69.8% and no other program above 10%.
Wisconsin’s class of 2026 still ranks No. 43 nationally with six players committed. Three-star Carmelow Reed is the group’s only defensive lineman/edge defender. More than one full week into May, the program is still looking for its first blue-chip addition to the class.
