Pietrzak is 247Sports’ No. 327 player in the class of 2025, No. 35 defensive lineman and No. 1 recruit from his home state of North Dakota. His final four came from an impressive offer sheet that also includes Auburn, Florida State, Iowa, Michigan State, Missouri, Texas A&M, USC and Washington.

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 currently ranks No. 19 in the nation with nine players committed. The program is yet to land a defensive tackle after ending the 2024 cycle with top recruits Ernest Willor Jr. and Dillan Johnson at the position.
