After the initial reports rolled out that Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers football program had reached out to USC linebacker Tackett Curtis in the transfer portal and had a Zoom meeting, updates have seemingly gone radio silent.
Curtis has heard from countless programs since entering his name into the portal, and for good reason. He was the No. 108 overall prospect in the 2023 recruiting class and the No. 9 LB in the country and saw the field as a true freshman for the USC Trojans.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound inside backer registered 40 tackles, 10 pressures, six hurries, two sacks, a forced fumble, and a pass deflection in 355 total snaps this past season.
