The Badgers are continuing to beef up their defensive front with some key additions.
The Wisconsin Badgers continued to add to their defensive front, landing Kentucky Wildcats outside linebacker Tyreese Fearbry in the transfer portal, he announced on Sunday.

Fearbry, a redshirt sophomore this past season, had 14 tackles and six stops in 2024, while playing sparingly across 11 games for Kentucky.
Standing at 6’5, 245 pounds, the outside linebacker is another depth piece for the Badgers as they revamp their defensive front. Wisconsin has already added four defensive linemen via the transfer portal and Fearbry becomes their second addition at outside linebacker, joining Louisville transfer Mason Reiger.
Wisconsin had a need at the position after losing Leon Lowery and John Pius, who were brought in via the transfer portal last offseason.
Currently, they have Darryl Peterson, Reiger, Aaron Witt (assuming he comes back for a final season), Fearbry, Sebastian Cheeks, and Thomas Heiberger as the top options for the position.
Fearbry becomes the 16th addition for Wisconsin in the transfer portal, who are still actively searching to fill their holes across the board.
