Wisconsin’s first class of 2025 commits four-star linebacker Mason Posa received an invitation to the 2025 All-American Bowl on Thursday. The event will take place in January, before Posa joins the Badgers.
Posa committed to Wisconsin on June 13, becoming the highest-rated recruit to pick Luke Fickell’s 2025 team to date. The New Mexico native compiled 99 total tackles, including 7.0 sacks, while also adding two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and an interception in 10 games his junior season at Albuquerque La Cueva High School.
Wisconsin went 7-6 in 2023 in the first year with Luke Fickell at the helm as the program’s head coach and Mike Tressel as the team’s defensive coordinator.
Tressel’s side of the ball finished 38th overall in total defense, yielding 344.0 yards per game. The main issue was getting to the quarterback, finishing the year tied for 56th in the country with 29.0 sacks as a team.
In the offseason, there was a clear focus on acquiring playmakers in the linebacker room, grabbing players like Leon Lowery (Syracuse) and John Pius (William & Mary) from the transfer portal while also bringing in some linebackers in their 2024 class.
