Former Badgers four-star OLB Anelu Lafaele commits to Michigan State

The Wisconsin Badgers saw their 2024 recruiting class took a hit last week when four-star freshman outside linebacker Anelu Lafaele elected to enter the transfer portal after just one season with the program.

Lafaele, one of Wisconsin’s top recruits in their freshmen class, had seen time with the second and third-team defense last offseason, but never got the chance to earn playing time during the year, as he worked behind Leon Lowery, Darryl Peterson, John Pius, Aaron Witt, and Sebastian Cheeks at the position.

Now, he’s heading elsewhere, but remaining in the Big Ten by committing to the Michigan State Spartans.
