Badgers Nab FCS Inside Linebacker via Transfer Portal

Wisconsin lands an inside linebacker from the transfer portal.

The Wisconsin football recruiting department has been making a concerted effort to re-tool both of the Badgers linebacker rooms this offseason, and they found another intriguing fit via the portal. 

Following an official visit to Madison over the weekend, Northern Iowa linebacker Jahsiah Galvan announced on social media that he’s committing to the Wisconsin Badgers and head coach Luke Fickell over reported interests from Kansas, Cincinnati, and Kansas State. 

The 6-foot-3, 202-pound inside backer from West Liberty, Iowa, began his collegiate career as a safety but has since transitioned into a hybrid role because of his versatility, which now has him slotted at inside linebacker. 

Galvan will join the Wisconsin football team with three years of eligibility.

The Wisconsin football program is doubling down on its preference for having long, athletic linebackers who can play in space, now extending that proclivity into its group of inside backers.
