Mason Reiger is emerging as the glaring one player Louisville football fans wish the Cardinals had kept, as he is becoming a defensive beast in the Big Ten.
Reiger now plays for the Wisconsin Badgers after playing for Louisville for his first four seasons in college. The 23-year-old became a star for the Cardinals in 2023 when he logged 22 tackles, 6.0 tackles for a loss, and 5.0 sacks.
Reiger sat out 2024 with a crushing injury and then transferred to Wisconsin, where he is now becoming a key player on Luke Fickell's defense. As the Badgers gear up for a massive Week 3 showdown with the Alabama Crimson Tide, a well-known Wisconsin football expert revealed that this showdown is a massive opportunity for the former Cardinal to climb on the 2026 NFL Draft boards.
