A key piece of the Wisconsin football program’s defense is preparing to move on, with a multi-year contributor headed to the transfer portal.
Veteran inside linebacker Christian Alliegro plans to enter the transfer portal when it opens Jan. 2, a move first reported by ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
After three seasons in Madison, Alliegro’s decision to finish his career elsewhere represents one of the more consequential roster shifts of the Badgers’ offseason, not just because of what he produced statistically, but because of how central he became to Wisconsin’s defensive identity.
