Badgers Land FCS All-American Pass-Rusher in Portal
Wisconsin lands the top FCS pass-rusher from the transfer portal.
Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin football program have made improving the Badgers’ pass rush a point of emphasis this offseason. Now, the Wisconsin Badgers have officially landed a commitment from one of the most productive edge rushers in the FCS from the transfer portal.
Following an official visit, William & Mary outside linebacker John Pius announced on social media that he was committing to Wisconsin over reported scholarship offers from Cincinnati, Ball State, Coastal Carolina, Marshall, and UCONN.
“I chose Wisconsin because of their high academics and is a great opportunity to develop at a place that produces linebackers,” Pius told BadgerNotes. “The coaches see me coming in and making an immediate impact on this defense.”
The 6-foot-2, 235-pound FCS All-American joins the Wisconsin football program with just one year of eligibility remaining.
