Three Wisconsin Badgers accept 2025 Hula Bowl Bowl invitations

Wisconsin’s Nyzier Fourqurean, Jake Chaney and Jaheim Thomas accepted invitations to the 2025 Hula Bowl on Thursday.

The trio join Badger safety Hunter Wohler and offensive lineman Jack Nelson as upperclassmen to accept postseason showcase invitations this winter. Both Wohler and Nelson accepted invitations to the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl on Wednesday.

Started in 1946, the Hula Bowl game acts as an all-star game for NFL, CFL and UFL hopefuls. Scouts from all three pro leagues will be on-site in Orlando, Florida in early-January to watch 100 of the top senior athletes compete.

All three of UW’s 2025 Hula Game participants started at their respective positions this season. Following a 39-tackle, two-sack campaign in 2023, Fourqurean logged 51 total tackles, one interception and two tackles for loss at cornerback with the Badgers in 2024.

Thomas, who transferred to UW after a 2023 season with Arkansas, registered 53 total tackles, two tackles for loss and one sack at linebacker. Chaney, another linebacker mainstay for Wisconsin’s defense, notched 55 total tackles, four tackles for loss, one sack and one forced fumble this season.

All three head to the Hula Bowl aiming to showcase their talents to those connected to franchises at the next level.
