Wisconsin Badgers Land Top In-State RB

On April 3rd, Wisconsin Badgers just locked in their top in-state prize for the 2027 recruiting class.

Running back Kingston Allen from Green Bay Notre Dame Academy announced his commitment.

Friday, capping off a huge local hall that included Sussex.

Hamilton, offensive line twins, Hunter and Reese Malinger earlier in the week.

Rated number 1 in the state, number 6 tailback nationally, and number 139 overall by 247 sports.

Allen picked the Badgers.

Over offers from Northwestern and schools like Eastern Michigan.

This move shoots Wisconsin up to 10th in the national recruiting rankings.

Allen's no stranger to big stages, setting state records last season with 3548 rushing yards and 57.

Touchdowns, earning him Wisconsin Gatorade player of the year honors.

Fans and coaches are buzzing because the Badgers' ground game has been sputtering.

Their leading Russia last year managed just 363 yards, the lowest team total since 1967, despite leaning heavy on the run.

What makes Allen special goes beyond the stats?

He's got that rare mix of power at 6 foot 1, 185 pounds, quick feet for the edge, plus vision, and patience to let blocks develop.

He wears down defenses with steady gains, not just home runs.

With running back dev flipping fast due to transfers like Dylan Jones and injury questions for others,

Allen provides key stability.

Wisconsin's eye more tailbacks, hosting Texas Prospect Jason Gibson, late May and DC's Day John Talley,

rode early June, stacking that backfield for the long haul.
