Big Game Boomer ranked his top 50 college football linebacker coaches and released his list Thursday. One of the Badgers’ new additions in 2023 was ranked in the top 10.
New defensive coordinator and linebacker coach Mike Tressel came in at ninth overall on the list. Tressel spent the last two seasons as the DC/LB coach with Luke Fickell in Cincinnati and joined Wisconsin with Fickell this past offseason.
Now with the Badgers, Tressel will look to elevate the play of talented linebackers Maema Njongmeta and Jordan Turner, amongst others. There are a handful of former Bearcat linebackers in the NFL now, including Myjai Sanders (ARI) and Darrian Beavers (NYG).
