The Wisconsin Badgers and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish announced that their game at Lambeau Field in 2026 was moved from Saturday, September 5th, to Sunday, September 6th. The fans have mixed feelings about the change, but a Wisconsin 2026 recruit is thrilled about it. He called the game “personal” and declared that he would “show out” for the matchup.
Tayshon Bardo, a 3-star wide receiver from Indiana, was never recruited by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish even though he’s from the same state. This slight seems to be the motivation behind his post and the fuel for his desire to perform in the game at Lambeau Field next season.
Tayshon Bardo a 3-star Wisconsin commit from Indiana is excited for the Notre Dame matchup
Tayshon Bardo had several high major offers from Indiana, Michigan State, Wisconsin, and Vanderbilt but ultimately chose the Badgers. The school that’s simply across town, the University of Notre Dame, was never contacted and never offered. He could jump in a car and drive from Mishawaka, Indiana, to Notre Dame Stadium in 15 minutes if traffic is good.
He posted on X that declares the matchup in 2026, his freshman year, is a huge motivation for him. While he uses slang in the tweet, the loose translation is: “This is personal, I’m going to go out and perform, for sure.
According to 24/7 Sports, Bardo is listed as the best wide receiver in Indiana, so he’s a big grab for the Badgers and will take the edge that he has to prove the doubters wrong about his skillset. The fuel to beat Notre Dame at Lambeau Field may be his for now, but hopefully, that flame spreads to the rest of the team, and the Badgers are ready to knock off a Fighting Irish team that will most likely be ranked going into the 2026 season.
