Wisconsin may have some competition to retain one of its current class of 2026 commits.
That is three-star defensive lineman Djidjou Bah, who took an official visit to Missouri over the weekend.
Bah committed to the Badgers on June 1 after his official visit to the program. He then canceled his upcoming trips to Big Ten rivals Iowa, Indiana and Michigan State, according to 247Sports. Missouri swooped in with a late offer on June 19, immediately before hosting the defensive lineman on an official visit.
Wisconsin still holds the lineman’s commitment as of June 24, plus 247Sports has yet to issue any predictions for a flipped commitment. Still, his visit to the Tigers is a notable development.
The recruiting service currently ranks the Germantown, Tennessee, native as the No. 853 overall player in the class of 2026, the No. 87 defensive lineman and the No. 23 recruit from his home state. Those rankings have all risen dramatically from the date he committed to the Badgers (No. 152 defensive lineman, No. 61 recruit from Tennessee).
Bah’s recruitment will be worth monitoring as the summer months continue. He’s a key piece of a Wisconsin class of 2026 that currently ranks No. 40 nationally with 13 players committed. As of June 24, he and three-star Arthur Scott are the only two defensive linemen pledged to the Badgers. Bah is by far the higher-ranked player of the two, plus he is the second-highest-ranked of Wisconsin’s 13 current commits.
Wisconsin has already lost one commit to an SEC program — three-star edge rusher Carmelow Reed to Ole Miss. The program would do well to retain Bah through the early-December signing period.
