Michael Furtney ready to sign early, grow at Wisconsin

Watching Michael Furtney’s senior year highlights, you get a sense of what the three-star offensive lineman could bring to the Wisconsin Badgers as he moved defenders and opened upon holes for Milan High School’s offense.

One of his future teammates knows, nearly firsthand.

“That dude is physical,” fellow Michigan native and Wisconsin 2018 commit Reggie Pearson said on Monday.

The all-state prep safety should know about Furtney. Along with their verbal commitments to the Badgers, the two almost played each other.

“He’s going to pull and whoever is right there is going to get hurt,” Pearson said.
