Wisconsin's 2021 football recruiting class has increased by five since Memorial Day. Tight end Jack Pugh, defensive lineman Mike Jarvis, cornerback Ricardo Hallman and projected outside linebackers Darryl Peterson and T.J. Bollers all announced their respective decisions to join Paul Chryst's program from late May to late June.

That has elevated UW to be among the top 15 in the nation for this upcoming recruiting cycle, but other teams have also picked up pledges from some standout talent.

AllBadgers.com breaks down where UW's 2021 football class sits according to both 247Sports composite rankings and Rivals as of July 7. Take a look at where they stand both nationally and within the conference.
