To say the Wisconsin football program saw the Badgers linebacker corps as an area of need is a vast understatement. UW saw Maema Njongmeta, Jordan Turner, Jordan Mayer, Kaden Johnson, and Aidan Vaughan all exit the program early in the offseason, leaving the Badgers very thin at the position.
However, since the transfer portal has opened, the Badgers have completely retooled their linebacker room by adding a whopping six players. After a season with linebackers who didn’t exactly fit Mike Tressel’s scheme, Wisconsin football has added loads of athleticism and talent with its revamped linebacker corps.
