The Wisconsin Badgers are keeping a close eye on a top winger in the 2027 class who has a brand fresh connection to the program.
Ayden Gonzalez, a 2027 winger, has quickly become one of the top wingers in the board Wisconsin Badgers. Gonzalez is from Fort Myers, Florida and attends Bishop Verot High School, which should sound very familiar to Badgers fans. Gonzalez is on the team with Wisconsin’s fresh quarterback, a four-star prospect from 2205 Carter Smith.
The talented wide receiver is fairly fresh to the college football recruiting process, but said he “believes the recruiting process will pick up after this year.” Gonzalez also added regarding the admissions process, “The college landscape is changing rapidly, which is impacting high school enrollment.”
Currently, the winger is mainly in contact with Florida and Wisconsin, but he expects many more programs to join soon. Early in the recruiting process, Gonzalez said he was looking for coaches who “build relationships and focus on player development.”
In addition to “player development,” Gonzalez also noted that he is looking for “personal development” because he needs connection with the squad beyond the pitch. Gonzalez said he’s interested in coaches who want to “create value for the kid beyond football.” The final real key to recruiting Gonzalez is a program that has an “infectious” culture that wants to win games.
Gonzalez admitted there are programs whose offerings would certainly mean a little more. The Florida native noted that an offer from the Miami Hurricanes would be his “dream” offer, while an offer from the Oregon Ducks would be just as significant. However, Gonzalez also noted that he would be “grateful” to star in any show that would “invest” in his potential.
What could Ayden Gonzalez add to the Wisconsin Badgers and other teams?
While the Wisconsin Badgers may have ties to Gonzalez and be very interested in the talented receiver, the team will have to fight to keep the recruit moving forward.
Currently, Gonzalez is not employed as heavily as he likely will be in the future due to his ability on the field. The winger has excellent speed, but feels his football IQ, hands and precise route running are the keys to his success. Gonzalez also noted, “I feel like I have an unmatched competitive fire within me, especially between the white lines.”
Gonzalez is a velvety, bright receiver who consistently finds open space with clear routing. The winger is also an excellent player in the air, with many defenders looking to force Gonzalez’s incomplete passes. The 5-foot-10-inch, 165-pound receiver still has plenty of time to grow and add size, which should make him a truly competitive receiver at the college level.
The talented player also has experience playing in defense as a defender, which may be an added value in his further recruitment.
