A former Wisconsin linebacker commits to Northern Illinois

Former Wisconsin linebacker Izayah Green-May entered the transfer portal last week after appearing in two games this season.

Green-May came to Wisconsin as part of its class of 2017. The Illinois native redshirted in 2017, appeared in six games in 2018, played in 12 games including one start in 2019 and then struggled to find the field during each of the last two seasons—mostly due to injuries.

It took only six days for the former Badger to find his new destination, as Green-May committed to Northern Illinois this weekend.

For Wisconsin fans that remember, NIU head coach Thomas Hammock was a graduate assistant at Wisconsin back in 2003 and was its running backs coach from 2011-2013.
