Former Wisconsin defensive lineman will visit Texas A&M

Texas A&M will reportedly host Wisconsin transfer DL James Thompson Jr. in the near future

Texas A&M requires additions across the defensive line through the transfer portal after several departures, including for five-star DL Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy, who entered the portal this month.

Coach Mike Elko and his defensive staff are looking for culture fits from respectable programs, not just traits and on-field production. So when it was announced that redshirt senior Wisconsin transfer defensive lineman James Thompson Jr. had entered the portal, the Aggies were among the first programs to contact him.

A three-time All-Academic Big Ten recipient, Thompson was equally impressive on the field, leading the Badgers D-line in tackles during the 2023 season with 29, including three sacks and 5.5 tackles for loss.

After undergoing surgery due to an upper-body injury just weeks before Wisconsin’s start to the 2024 season, Thompson missed the year to rehab, which is good news for whatever teams land him through the portal.

Interestingly, Thompson’s social media post on X stating his plans to visit Texas A&M without a confirmed date included a photo of current Aggies’ defensive lineman Rodas Johnson, who transferred from the Badgers last offseason.

James Thompson Jr. has one season of eligibility remaining.

How to buy Northwestern Wildcats vs. Wisconsin Badgers football tickets

Want to watch the Northwestern Wildcats vs. Wisconsin Badgers in person on Saturday, Oct. 19? Tickets still remain for as little as $108.

Northwestern Wildcats get set to welcome the Wisconsin Badgers to their temporary home in Evanston this Saturday as the two face off in a Big Ten battle on the shores of Lake Michigan. If you want to catch the historic event in person during college football’s Week 8, we have the ticket information you desire right here.

The Wildcats are 3-3 overall this fall with a 1-2 mark in conference play, along with a 2-2 tally in their makeshift abode. They did manage to win their last game at the Maryland Terrapins, 37-10, for the lone Big Ten victory.

The Badgers have been a bit disappointing despite a decent 4-2 record overall in 2024 — especially considering a pair of losses came against the Alabama Crimson Tide and USC Trojans, respectively, on back-to-back weekends.

The Northwestern Wildcats will host the Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday, Oct. 19 at noon ET.

Why Tyler Biadasz is an important leader for the Commanders

Biadasz is one of Washington’s early-season unsung heroes.

When you think of Commanders’ offensive leaders, you might actually miss one of the more important leaders on the 2024 team.

Head coach Dan Quinn spoke with the media on Monday about center Tyler Biadasz and his importance in leading this offense in 2024. Biadasz signed as a free agent in March, having played his first four seasons (202-23) with the Cowboys. The veteran center has been important for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.

“One of the challenging parts about playing center, on so many of these plays you have to target who belongs to whom,” said Quinn. “On a traditional offense, you have a little bit more time. You can get the line of scrimmage; this is what I see. If they shift, you change it. When you’re going more quickly, those are when you really have to process quickly like a QB. So, on the runs and the passes, Tyler’s right in the middle of all that to make sure the declaration’s right, who we’re going to, how we’re going to go.”

The offense hummed like a well-oiled machine against the Cardinals on Sunday, leading to a 42-14 win. Quinn thought Biadasz did a great job with the Cardinals changing fronts.

“For a team like Arizona who plays multiple fronts, has a good blitz package and a safety that can just honestly show up in a blitz from just about damn near anywhere, he’s somebody he had to keep an eye on.”

Quinn also talked about how Biadasz is doing a good job getting out in Washington’s wide runs.

“I thought him pulling and being on the move there were some good plays that I saw on that, and that’s another added part of things when you get another big guy out on the edge on some of the lead blocking that went to Brian, I thought that was a big deal.”

GM Adam Peters’s first three moves with the Commanders involved two offensive linemen. Peters released OT Charles Leno, TE Logan Thomas, and C Nick Gates.

To address their offensive line, Peters signed Biadasz, G Nick Allegretti, and long snapper Tyler Ott in the first week of free agency.

It’s early, but Peters’ moves appear to be paying off.
