Peyton Lange has made his commitment as a walk-on official to the Wisconsin Badgers after the recent hire of new HC Luke Fickell. Lange is a 6-foot-9, 370 pound offensive tackle from who played at Minnehaha Academy from Minneapolis.

He plays multiple sports including track, field, basketball and football. In his statement, Lange thanked several of his family and friends for their support during his process.

“Thank you to the coaches who recruited me and offered opportunities to play at the next level,” said Lange. “I am honored to announce my commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at the University of Wisconsin.”

Wisconsin as a program has prided itself on great line-of-scrimmage play and has had several elite offensive lines over the past decade. The Badgers have a great identity for running backs and offensive linemen making it a great destination for someone like Lange.

Lange also had offers from Minnesota, Iowa State and St. Thomas. He uses his weight well and will be able to fine tune his physical traits during his time as a Badger.

Lange will play under coach Fickell who is arguably one of the best hires made this season. The Badgers add another player to their 2023 class.
