Wisconsin prep not swayed by in-state offer

For Wisconsin high school football prospect Brody Schaffer, not even a call from his in-state Badgers can change his commitment to Iowa.

Brody Schaffer is one of the top athletes in the Class of 2026 in Wisconsin. So, it should come as no surprise that the Badgers are interested in gaining a commitment from him.

But Schaffer committed to play football for Big Ten rival Iowa back in March. And even with Wisconsin making him an offer, he is sticking to his original decision.

"No changes in my college decision," Schaffer told Sean Bock of 247Sports, "and I can confidently say that it won't change. I am a Hawkeye."

Schaffer played quarterback and defensive back last year for Winneconne High School, with Iowa recruiting him as a wide receiver. The Badgers made an offer for him to join the program as a defensive back.

247Sports has Schaffer a three-star prospect, ranked as the No. 4 player in the state of Wisconsin. The 6-foot-1, 184-pounder is ranked as the 133rd wide receiver in the country.

Last year, he had over 4,000 yards from scrimmage and accounted for 48 touchdowns, recording 54 tackles and four interceptions on defense.
