The Wisconsin football staff paid an official visit to the coveted defensive back recruit, but the recruit has other commitments.
Zay Gentrya three-star defenseman in the 2025 recruiting class, he currently faces a significant challenge SMU. However, Gentry announced the list of official visits he would be taking and included the Badgers on it. Gentry announced his commitment to the Mustangs ten days ago, but may retain other options due to official visits scheduled.

The Wisconsin football team was scheduled to host the Southern Methodist three-star game Zay Gentry in a few weeks. Gentry will visit Wisconsin on May 31, which could prove to be a pivotal visit given the relationships and long-standing interest of the Badgers staff in Gentry.
The Texas native announced his verbal commitment to SMU just ten days ago, but has since scheduled two official visits. The recruit will visit Madison in overdue May to meet with the Wisconsin football staff and then return to Texas to meet with Baylor. Gentry has not yet made an official visit to SMU, but he likely will since he does not have a recorded visit to the school.
The Wisconsin Badgers Football team’s goal on their upcoming official visit is to distract Gentry
The Wisconsin football staff and Zay Gentry have quite a history, as the Badgers have been in contact with Gentry for almost a year. Wisconsin football has worked very strenuous to build a relationship with Gentry and is reluctant to end its recruitment despite his committed status. Gentry is a speedy cornerback with exceptional coverage, and Wisconsin isn’t ready to give up on the possibility of acquiring the recruit just yet.
Gentry currently has 32 scholarship offers and has had regular visits since Wisconsin first contacted him. At this point, Gentry’s interest in Wisconsin appears to have waned, but a successful official visit could certainly get the Badgers back into the fold.
For the Badgers staff, building a high school is of the utmost importance
So far in the 2025 recruiting cycle, the Wisconsin football team has made it clear that it is committed to improving both its defensive line and secondary. The Badgers currently have four defensive backs in their class, including one hybrid athlete who will likely play safety for Wisconsin.
The Badgers are looking to add a lot of depth to the secondary, and that’s exactly what could happen as Wisconsin currently has three major officials in June. The Wisconsin football staff will have Gentry, Jayden Shipps and C.J. Bell, all of whom are accomplished cornerbacks, on campus.
