In a stunning turn of events, five-star quarterback James Flanigan, a towering 8’6″, 250-pound phenom, has decommitted from Notre Dame and announced his commitment to the Wisconsin Badgers. Flanigan’s decision sent shockwaves through the college football world, as he spurned Penn State and several powerhouse programs in favor of Luke Fickell’s rising squad.
Flanigan, a generational talent with a cannon for an arm and elite mobility for his size, had long been expected to follow in his father’s footsteps at Notre Dame. However, sources close to his recruitment indicate that Wisconsin’s offensive system and NIL opportunities played a key role in his decision.
Wisconsin fans erupted in celebration, envisioning Flanigan leading the Badgers back to national prominence. “This is a program-changing commitment,” one Wisconsin insider said. “He’s a cheat code.”
Penn State, once considered a front-runner, is left reeling as it scrambles for alternatives. Meanwhile, Notre Dame now faces an unexpected void in its 2025 recruiting class.
With his rare combination of size, skill, and leadership, Flanigan is poised to redefine the quarterback position in Madison. As the dust settles, one thing is certain: the Big Ten just got a whole lot more interesting.
