“I want to thank Wisconsin, the coaches, the best fans in the Big Ten, and my brothers on the team,” Weber wrote on X. “I’ve grown as a man and a better player because of y’all. With that being said & after praying and some hard conversations, I’ve decided to transfer with 4 years left to play.”

Weber is the third member of Wisconsin’s defensive line room to enter the portal, following Curt Neal and James Thompson Jr. He is the 12th scholarship player to enter, nine of which were members of Fickell’s class of 2023 or 2024.

Weber joined the program as the No. 1,175 overall player in the class of 2023, No. 123 defensive lineman and No. 39 recruit from his home state of Tennessee. He did not see the field during his one year with the program, and now enters the portal with four years of eligibility remaining.
