Tressell appears to be Wisconsin’s linebackers coach as well, which was the role he held at Cincinnati, per his Twitter bio.
Fickell was expected to bring along Tressel, who served as his defensive coordinator at Cincinnati in 2022, to his new staff, which brought speculation about former interim head coach Jim Leonhard’s future with the team.
