The Wisconsin Badgers made significant changes to their linebacker room this season, adding Leon Lowery, John Pius, Jaheim Thomas, Tackett Curtis, and Sebastian Cheeks from the transfer portal, with all five players cracking their Week 1 two-deep.
Lowery and Pius are listed as co-starters at outside linebacker and should play significant snaps on the edge, while Thomas is a starter at inside linebacker alongside Jake Chaney. Curtis and Cheeks are backups at inside and outside linebacker, respectively.
Well, two of Wisconsin’s transfers are getting national acclaim ahead of the season, as ESPN listed them on their 2024 college football preseason All-Transfer team.
