Luke Fickell and the University of Wisconsin football program bolstered the Badgers’ defense this offseason with several impactful additions from the transfer portal. Of those added, perhaps none were more significant than former USC linebacker Tackett Curtis.
One season into his tenure with the Trojans, Curtis decided to enter the transfer portal in search of a better fit. Despite being unfamiliar with Coach Fickell’s staff, he chose to join the Wisconsin football team over offers from Ohio State, Texas A&M, and Florida State, among others.
According to On3 Sports, the 6-foot-2, 225-pound Louisiana native was considered one of the top-ranked linebackers in the transfer portal.
