"They've got a plan for Wisconsin football," Heiberger said on The Camp. "They're going to be competing for Big Ten championships. I truly believe that. That's why I wanted to be a part of it." 

According to the 247Sports composite, Heiberger is the No. 656 player in the 2024 recruiting class, the No. 60 LB in the country, and the No. 2 player in South Dakota. 

The Sioux Falls native chose UW over offers from Illinois, Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Oklahoma, Purdue, Stanford, Texas Tech, Vanderbilt, Washington, and Utah.

As a junior, the 6-foot-4, 210-pound linebacker registered 44 tackles, 10 TFLs, six sacks, and one interception. 

Scouting Report

Thomas Heiberger, a standout at Jefferson High School in South Dakota, is one giant piece of moldable clay for the Wisconsin football program because of his intangibles.
