Three-star, Opa Locka, Florida 2025 defensive end prospect Wilnerson Telemaque decommitted from Wisconsin on Monday.

"After a conversation with my family and coaches, I will be de-committing from the University of Wisconsin," Telemaque wrote on X. "I would like to thank Coach Fickell and Coach Whitlow for recruiting me. My recruitment is 100% open."

Telemaque verbally committed to Wisconsin on June 18 over other top offers from West Virginia and Georgia Tech. He transferred from Monsignor Pace High School in Opa Locka, Florida to Northwestern High School in Miami for his senior season.

At the time of his commitment, he was rated as the No. 719 prospect in the country according to 247Sports' composite rankings. He's since dropped slightly to No. 816 while picking up notable offers from Florida, Nebraska and Colorado.

The Badgers flipped Purdue defensive line commit Drayden Pavey last week, so the loss of a player like Telemaque was something they could sustain. They also flipped a Michigan State tight end recruit on Monday.

Wisconsin currently has 25 players verbally committed to the 2025 recruiting class and 247Sports ranks Badgers' 2025 class No. 28 in the nation.
