On Saturday, Jim Leonhard and his coaching staff extended a scholarship offer to 2025 in-state linebacker Cooper Catalano out of Germantown, Wisconsin.
According to PrepRedzoneWI, Catalano is the No. 1 LB in the state and the No. 6 overall player in Wisconsin.
Not yet ranked by national recruiting services, the 6-foot-2, 200-pound LB holds offers from Illinois and Wisconsin but has also received interest from Iowa State and Minnesota.

As a freshman, Catalano registered 78 tackles, seven TFLs, three sacks and three forced fumbles for Germantown High School.
This offer marks the 15th offer extended to a member of the 2025 recruiting cycle and the second to an in-state product, the other being Verona cornerback Tre Poteat.
The Germantown High School standout announced his scholarship offer from the University of Wisconsin via his Twitter account:
