Joe Ferguson brings rare durability and steady back-end reliability to Wisconsin’s secondary
Joe Ferguson has been a trusted Wisconsin safety because of his durability, game experience, and steady playmaking, appearing in 58 games — the second-most in FBS history — while finishing his Badgers career with 48 tackles, 7 pass breakups, and 4 interceptions. His biggest differentiator is availability: coaches could count on him to stay on the field and handle volume, which matters for a defense built on consistency and communication. He is a good fit for teams that value toughness, instincts, and a dependable veteran presence over flashy production.
