Luke Fickell added linebacker depth last year out of Western Carolina. A player who used his redshirt sophomore year to record 61 tackles and 6.5 tackles for loss. He put himself on the map and allowed himself to jump to a Power-4 team. Wisconsin was able to grab him and bring him in, but he never played and never worked out. Now, Antarron Turner is back in the portal.
This isn't surprising, but it does continue to move the position of linebacker further and further up the "needs help in the portal" list. It was one of the lowest-priority positions going into the offseason, but it may now be in the top 5 in terms of depth needs.
