The Wisconsin Badgers have secured a commitment from FCS All-American outside linebacker John Pius, he announced on Monday.
Pius, a three-year starter from William & Mary, recorded 9.5 sacks and 16 tackles for loss in 2022, following that effort up with nine more sacks in 2023.
A redshirt junior, Pius will have one year of eligibility remaining as a redshirt senior at Wisconsin.
On his official visit this weekend, Pius was most impressed by the “great place, great people, and great facilities, which prompted the commitment following the weekend.
In 2022, Pius finished second in voting for the Buck Buchanan Award, which honors the FCS’s national defensive player of the year.
