Wisconsin Football: 5 Biggest Offseason Transfer Portal Additions
By Dillon Graff
USC Linebacker Tackett Curtis
Anyone who follows Wisconsin football recruiting is already well acquainted with Tackett Curtis. Fortunately for the Badgers, when they got a second chance, they were able to close the deal over some big-time programs like Ohio State, Texas A&M, LSU, and Florida State.
What makes the Curtis addition so massive is that he has three years of eligibility left and already saw the field as a true freshman at USC. Now, the Badgers have a Mike linebacker they can build around for the future while also plugging him in as a starter from day one.
The 6-foot-2 linebacker recorded 40 tackles, 10 pressures, two sacks, one forced fumble, and a pass deflection this past season. Now Mike Tressel has a wildly athletic playmaker he can cut loose and utilize to wreak havoc on defense for years to come.
Curtis could become the face of the Wisconsin Badgers defense in time.
