Curtis Transferring from Wisconsin

Wisconsin linebacker Tackett Curtis is set to enter the NCAA transfer portal, joining five other Badgers seeking new opportunities. Curtis, a highly-rated recruit, played in twelve games at USC before transferring to Wisconsin. Despite appearing in twenty-four games, he primarily played in a reserve role, contributing fifty-six total tackles, two and a half tackles for loss, and one sack. The Badgers, however, have emerging stars Mason Posa and Cooper Catalano at inside linebacker, indicating the teams depth at the position and suggesting inside linebacker is not a top priority in the upcoming winter transfer cycle.
