The Wisconsin Badgers faced some unfortunate injury news, as true freshman outside linebacker Thomas Heiberger has suffered a knee injury, according to outside linebackers coach Matt Mitchell, that will prompt him to miss the beginning of the 2024 season.
Heiberger, a four-star recruit in the Class of 2024, had been putting together a strong start to fall camp, according to several practice reports, and was fighting to earn playing time as a true freshman prior to his injury.
Now, Mitchell confirmed that the injury will not be a season-ending injury, but the news is especially unfortunate as the outside linebackers coach revealed that Heiberger was going to play as a true freshman.
