Wisconsin’s first class of 2025 target, OT Nolan Davenport, will officially visit the Badgers the weekend of May 31.
The program offered Davenport on April 28. The Massillon, Ohio native is currently a four-star recruit.
The 247Sports composite rankings have the offensive tackle as the No. 588 player in the 2025 class, the No. 47 player at his position and the No. 18 recruit in the state of Ohio. The popular recruit has received 33 Division 1 offers to date, including from Ole Miss, Penn State, Stanford, Pittsburgh, Missouri, Purdue and Virginia Tech. Of note, he also plays for visiting Michigan State in June.
The 6-foot-2, 260-pound athlete is a junior at Washington High School in Massillon, Ohio and is also a pitcher for the school’s varsity baseball team.
In 2023, Davenport transitioned from tight end to left tackle at Washington High School, according to Andrew Ivins of 247Sports. That’s where he projects to play at the collegiate level.
Wisconsin has been one of the best offensive lineman producing programs over the last 20 years. Luke Fickell has already secured the commitments of two offensive linemen in his 2025 class: Michael Roeske (Wautoma, WI) and Cam Clark (Dexter, MI). Davenport is at the top of the class’ list of programs.
