Wisconsin football Class of 2025 running back target Javin Gordon announced his commitment to Duke on Monday.
Gordon became the fourth target from Wisconsin’s class of 2025 to commit elsewhere over the weekend, joining three-star WR Vernon Allen III, three-star iOL N’Kye Wynn and three-star LB Elliot Schaper of three stars. Allen and Wynn chose Rutgers while Schaper, like Gordon, committed to Duke.
The 5-foot-11, 200-pound running back chose Duke over Wisconsin, Georgia Tech, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Indiana, Toledo, Liberty, USF and Wake Forest, among others.
Like Schaper, Gordon had an official visit scheduled with the Badgers the weekend of June 7. He was also scheduled to visit Georgia Tech this month.
When Wisconsin offered the Toccoa, Ga., native in April, recruiting outlets had not yet ranked the rising senior. 247Sports now has Gordon as the No. 91 running back in the country and the No. 111 recruit out of Georgia for the 2025 class.
Luke Fickell’s Class of 2025 currently ranks 17th in the country with 13 players committed. With Gordon’s selection, Wisconsin has still not been able to secure a running back commitment.
Wisconsin also secured commitments from 2025 first-class cornerback Rukeem Stroud and four-star OT Logan Powell over the weekend. Both Stroud and Powell made their decisions during official visits to Madison beginning May 31.
