As the class of 2026 has now officially graduated and they head off to college this fall, a remarkable number of Whitefish Bay student-athletes will be trading Blue Duke uniforms for college ones. Building on the tradition highlighted in our earlier look at current D1 athletes, here’s a look at the incoming college athletes from WFB, from Power Five programs to storied D3 institutions.
As with the last time, this list is a best effort and may not capture everyone. All of the below information was pulled from public resources, namely Instagram (my wife points out that I am the last 30-something on the planet to finally sign up for Instagram so that I could research this post).
