Wisconsin class of 2027 target, linebacker Blake Betton, committed to Penn State on Saturday. Betton chose the Nittany Lions over the Badgers , Michigan Wolverines , Minnesota Golden Gophers and Missouri Tigers. 247Sports lists the Shakopee, Minnesota, native as a three-star recruit.
He's specifically ranked as the No. 417 player in the class, the No. 35 linebacker and the No.
4 recruit from his home state. He joins a Penn State class that now sits No. 23 in the nation and No.
9 in the Big Ten. Wisconsin, notably, sits at No. 11 in the nation and No.
4 in the conference. The Badgers have found early success in the 2027 cycle, already landing commitments from eight in-state players. Four-star recruits Cole Reiter, Korz Loken and Kingston Allen headline that list.
