Madison, Wis. — Momentum is a real thing, and the commitments just keep rolling in for Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers.
On Friday afternoon, the Badgers added Boston College defensive back Jason Maitre, through the transfer portal.
The 5-foot-10, 188-pound DB checks two significant boxes for the Wisconsin Badgers. He has a ton of experience, and he’s versatile.
According to Pro Football Focus, the Boston College transfer logged 2,155 career snaps across five seasons. Of those, 179 came in the box, 700 at free safety, 824 from the slot, and 438 came as a boundary corner.

The Massachusetts native comes to UW with 41 games of experience under his belt and one year of eligibility remaining.
Maitre announced his intention to transfer to the University of Wisconsin via Twitter.
