Wisconsin football Class of 2025 running back target John Forster announced his commitment to Rutgers on Saturday.
Although Wisconsin was the final five schools for the three-star recruit, the rising senior narrowed his list of potential landing spots to Illinois and Rutgers last week, according to Brian Dohn of 247Sports.
The Montvale, New Jersey product canceled his June 14 official visit with the Badgers along with his planned trip to West Virginia. Forster visited Illinois and Rutgers, respectively, the final two weekends before his collegiate commitment.
Forster is 247Sports’ No. 422 player in the class of 2025, the No. 31 running back and the No. 13 recruit in his home state of New Jersey.
Wisconsin will now try to secure the commitment of four-star Byron Louis, who was on campus for an official visit on June 7 and has not yet announced his commitment. Forster was previously Wisconsin’s other top running back target in the class.
However, Rivals currently has Wisconsin’s 2025 recruiting class ranked No. 6 in the country. The group has 19 commitments and eight since the start of official visits in June.
Fickell and company added two blue-chip players to their growing 2025 class this week, with commitments from four-star linebacker Mason Posa and four-star wide receiver Eugene Hilton Jr. so far.
