Luke Fickell and the Badgers have been one of the most active teams in the country so far in the transfer portal, stacking up 25 commitments already in the first week. But despite the flurry of additions, there's still one big need that Wisconsin needs to figure out.
The Badgers top three sack-getters from 2025 have all moved on, leaving a major hole on defense to fill with a nice portal commitment. Darryl Peterson and Mason Reiger are out of eligibility, and Christian Alliegro transferred to Ohio State, leaving Mason Posa as the team's only returning player who had four or more sacks.
