Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers football program landed an under-the-radar linebacker in the 2024 recruiting class that likely would have been at a blue-blood school had he not grown up in South Dakota.
Newly minted four-star outside linebacker Thomas Heiberger committed to the Badgers last April and enrolled early to get a jump start on learning Mike Tressel’s defensive system this spring.
According to the industry composite recruiting rankings, Heiberger was considered the No. 461 overall player and the No. 40 LB in the country.
Known for his ridiculous athletic tools, Heiberger has already caught the eye of Wisconsin Badgers strength and conditioning coach Brady Collins, who recently appeared on an episode of Locked on Badgers.
