Tuesday afternoon, just days after national recruiting analysts predicted the move, Wisconsin Badgers class of 2026 recruit Jack Janda flipped his commitment to Iowa.
A three-star player who was viewed primarily as a tight end before a breakout senior season as a defensive lineman, Janda had been committed to Wisconsin since June 4.
The Novi, Michigan native had taken visits to Stanford, Illinois and Michigan State in the weeks after committing. Iowa didn’t extend an offer until Nov. 9.
Still, the Hawkeyes made a strong enough impression to land Janda’s official pledge just before the early signing period.
