Ben Wenzel brings Wisconsin a physical, productive in-state linebacker
Wenzel is a consensus three-star inside linebacker from Appleton North who fits the Badgers’ brand: tough, productive, and instinctive. In his senior season, he reportedly posted 112 tackles and earned conference linebacker and defensive player of the year honors, signaling both volume production and back-end leadership. At 6-2/6-3 and 215 pounds, he projects as a downhill, gap-sound defender who can rally to the ball and anchor a defense with effort and consistency. He looks like a strong fit for Wisconsin if you want a reliable, high-motor LB with proven high school production.
