Wisconsin Badgers Pursue Flip of Four-Star Cornerback Masanna Torbert

MADISON, WI – The Wisconsin Badgers football program is actively attempting to flip the commitment of four-star cornerback Masanna Torbert Jr. From Indiana University, extending an offer to the highly-rated recruit on March 7, 2026.

Torbert’s Commitment and Recent Offers

Torbert initially committed to Indiana on January 10, 2026. Badgers Wire reports that since his commitment, he has received offers from Auburn, New Haven, Michigan, Notre Dame, and USF, in addition to Wisconsin. He is currently ranked as the No. 7 player in the state of Ohio by 247Sports.

Indiana’s Championship Run and Torbert’s Visit

Despite Indiana’s recent success – winning the National Championship just nine days after Torbert’s initial commitment – his recruitment remains open. Torbert is scheduled for an official visit to Indiana from April 17-19, 2026. iHeart.com notes that this visit could be crucial in solidifying his commitment, but leaves the door open for other programs, including Wisconsin, to potentially sway him.

Player Profile

Torbert, a class of 2027 cornerback, attends Princeton High School and stands at 5-foot-10 and weighs 158 pounds. He was formerly a quarterback at Taft High School, where he was an all-state selection. WCPO highlights his transition to defensive back and his potential at the collegiate level.

Recruitment Outlook

Wisconsin faces an uphill battle to flip Torbert, but the Badgers’ recent momentum and the potential for increased playing time could be appealing factors. The outcome of Torbert’s official visit to Indiana will likely be a key indicator of his final decision. Several programs remain interested, creating a competitive recruitment landscape for the talented cornerback.
