The Wisconsin Badgers hosted Division 3 Bethel College transfer safety Matt Jung on an official visit on Wednesday after extending the Neenah native a scholarship on Tuesday, marking a quick turnaround for a recent portal target.

Jung, a sophomore, has quickly gained traction after entering the transfer portal, earning offers from the Iowa Hawkeyes, Washington State Cougars, and Iowa State Cyclones, among others, but the Badgers especially hit home, as the safety is a Wisconsin native.

In 2024, the safety was ultra-productive for Bethel, racking up 109 tackles, 10.
