Wisconsin football lands commitment from 2027 safety Dustin Roach

The Wisconsin football program added another in-state piece to its 2027 recruiting class, continuing an early trend that says plenty about how this staff wants to build moving forward.

Catholic Memorial safety Dustin Roach announced his commitment to the Badgers over offers from Northern Illinois and Eastern Michigan, giving Wisconsin its third pledge in the 2027 cycle — and its third from inside the state.

“I’m staying home!! ud83eudda1ud83cudfe1,” Roach wrote.

Roach, a Waukesha (Wis.) native, joins offensive lineman Ethan McIntosh (Verona) and tight end Korz Loken (Iola) as the foundation of what’s shaping up to be a talent-rich in-state class.
