Badgers freshman edge rusher to transfer
The Wisconsin Badgers are losing one of their freshmen to the transfer portal, as outside linebacker/edge rusher Jordan Mayer is entering the portal after one season in Madison.
Mayer, a 6’4, 235-pound edge rusher from Thomas Jefferson High School in Pennsylvania, had initially earned an offer in April, 2022, and committed to the old staff last June, but was kept on as a part of the 2023 recruiting when Luke Fickell was named head coach.
Mayer was recruited at Cincinnati as well while Fickell was there, which is why it made sense that the edge rusher would stay on, despite the coaching change.
