Luke Fickell is still active in the portal, but since he’s addressed all of Wisconsin’s needs, now he can take a few gambles. One of those high ceiling bets is on Liam Danitz, an edge rusher from D3 Hope College. Danitz is turning heads and getting tons of interest from major programs for his intangibles as well as his stats.
Danitz had a ton of interest and a few offers on the table before Wisconsin convinced him to be a Badger. He was planning an Ole Miss visit; he had an offer from Missouri; he was picking up interest from his home-state team, the Michigan Wolverines; and even LSU was sniffing around. There were also teams like Cal and Utah that were supposedly interested. Why? He’s an insane athlete, and his raw athleticism led him to light up D3 football.
