The Badgers will now need to look to the transfer portal to find new starting linebackers since Turner’s teammate Maema Njongmeta is likely entering the 2024 NFL draft. So far, they’ve landed FCS All-American outside linebacker John Pius and Syracuse transfer outside linebacker Leon Lowery in the portal.
