Wisconsin Badgers Secure Late 2025 Commitment from In-State Athlete Mason Kelley
Madison, WI – The Wisconsin Badgers football program welcomed a late addition to its 2025 recruiting class on Friday, as local standout Mason Kelley announced he will join the team as a preferred walk-on. The athlete, previously committed to South Dakota State, made the switch via social media, marking a significant turn in his recruitment.
Kelley, who had been aligned with the Jackrabbits since July 2024, had originally signed with the program in February. However, his impressive performances at various camps garnered attention, leading to the Badgers extending their interest. Before his commitment to South Dakota State, Kelley attracted offers from other schools, including North Dakota State and Minnesota State Mankato.
Expected to play wide receiver for Wisconsin, Kelley boasts a versatile background, having demonstrated his skills both as a quarterback and wide receiver during his senior year. His athletic prowess and adaptability on the field have made him a desirable prospect for the Badgers.
Wisconsin has a history of tapping into local talent for walk-on opportunities. The 2024 recruiting class featured notable in-state players such as safety/running back Mason Lane and wide receiver Langdon Noorgard, showcasing the program’s commitment to nurturing homegrown athletes.
As Kelley joins the Badgers’ roster, he brings not only local pride but also a strong work ethic and diverse skill set that could contribute to the team’s future success. With this late commitment, the Badgers continue to strengthen their ties within the community while bolstering their 2025 class with emerging talent.
