With the recent commitment to the 2026 Wisconsin football recruiting squad, it’s time to take a closer look at the recruit’s successes.
Quarterback Jarin Mock was one of several 2026 recruits who recently hit campus for the annual recruiting event held on campus in Madison. Following the event, Mock announced his commitment to the Wisconsin football team, becoming the first commitment of the 2026 recruiting class to the staff. Mock recently took time to speak with Sports Heroics in Wisconsin staff and gave us great insight into what he has to offer on the pitch.
Wisconsin Football Gets First Commitment of Class of 2026 with Quarterback Jarin Mock
During the fresh annual recruiting event hosted by the Wisconsin football staff on campus for junior college players, the Badgers landed a commitment. The Ohio native and dominant quarterback Jarin Mock announced his commitment to the Wisconsin football program while still on campus after his participation in the event.
Mock and the Wisconsin football staff connected in early May after the quarterback was offered a scholarship. The quarterback had previously attended an elite-level skills camp after being invited by the staff and impressed during positional drills. Mock also camped with Penn State in the past, but has not received an offer from any other energy conference programs outside of Wisconsin.
Mock’s commitment comes very early in the recruiting process for the recruit, which could be a test for the quarterback. Wisconsin likes players who are fully committed to the program and won’t put anyone else on the line, although the quarterback is sure to receive plenty of exposure down the road.
What can Jarin Mock offer the Wisconsin Badgers football staff on the field?
Mock is on the pitch different kind quarterback compared to what the program currently has on the roster. Mock is a intelligent, forceful quarterback with an exceptional feel for the pocket and when he needs to strike. Not only does Mock have an excellent timing for the deep pass, but he can do it under pressure.
In addition to his accuracy under pressure, Mock is also a playmaker who displays great pocket awareness and understands when he can stay and throw and when he needs to run. Even at 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, Mock has the speed and acceleration to escape linemen and linebackers coming for the sack.
Mock has the intelligence and awareness to read the field while avoiding pressure, and he rarely makes bad decisions when throwing. The quarterback’s clever and skillful play is a substantial part of what attracted the Wisconsin football staff to the quarterback.
Who could be the next Wisconsin Football player in 2026?
With Mock’s commitment, the recruitment of the 2026 recruiting class to the Wisconsin football staff is already underway. After Mock announced his commitment, the question became, who will be next on the Badgers staff?
Perhaps the biggest name and most fascinating right now is three-star offensive lineman Benjamin Nowak. Novak, an Indiana native, has been in close contact with the Wisconsin football staff since receiving his scholarship offer early last month. Novak attended the same event as Mock and shortly after said meeting and spending time with the staff was an “amazing” experience.
Novak can play on almost any level of the offensive line thanks to his 6-foot-6 frame and dominant strength. The Badgers staff would like to acquire the substantial man, but it may take some time, as he seems determined to get through most of the process. However, with the impression the staff left behind during the last camp, Novak could soon be a Badger.
