The Wisconsin Badgers recruiting staff is working to become the best school for the fast-rising athlete in the 2026 recruiting class.
Dana Greenhow, a talented athlete born in 2026, who plays mainly on defense and cornerback, has become a player under the care of the Badgers. Greenhow is from Georgia and played for Sandy Creek High School in a variety of ways early in his career. The player is both a threat to the opponent’s defense in the air and someone who can drop the running back if he loses.
The 2026 recruit currently has a total of six offers, having received his first in May from the Indiana Hoosiers ahead of their standout season. Greenhow said the process has been “great” so far and he continues to “talk to the coaches every day with interest.”
In a conversation with coaches, Greenhow stated, “I look for depth in my position and surroundings so that my family knows I’m going where I feel safe.” The talented defensive back also added that he is looking for “coaches who need me more than they want me and whose academics highly value athletes.”
The Wisconsin Badgers are among the programs interested in the recruit, but have not yet made an offer to the recruit. Greenhow currently holds six offers from Indiana, Liberty, East Carolina, Georgia State, App State and UAB. Wisconsin could very well become the next offer for Greenhow, as the recruiting staff has been looking for a recruit for quite some time.
However, the real “dream” school for Greenhow would be the Miami Hurricanes, a program that would be hard to beat if it had to offer a defense. Greenhow said he admired the show’s “breathtaking football” and the “safety introduced in the league”.
How can Dana Greenhow slip into the Wisconsin Badgers defense on other teams?
Greenhow is a player who can really make an impact early because of his ability to deliver at such a high level. The defensive back understands this and wants to be part of a program that will best utilize his skills in the future. What really allowed Greenhow to reach this level of skill was his football intelligence and physicality.
Most defensive backs these days avoid contact and tackling properly is something that is becoming increasingly hard. However, Greenhow loves contact and likes to initiate contact with larger opponents, especially in order to defeat them.
At 6-foot-4 and 170 pounds, Greenhow isn’t the biggest player on the field, but he’s probably one of the most prolific attackers. The defensive back plays exactly the type of football he has long admired as a fan of the Miami Hurricanes program.
The Wisconsin Badgers could really exploit a full roster of players with the mentality that Greenhow has on the field, which has made the recruit a fast-rising player in the 2026 class.
