He committed to Wisconsin back in April 2023, choosing the Badgers over Big Ten programs including Nebraska, Illinois and Purdue. His fourth star keeps him as the 8th highest-ranked signee in Wisconsin’s class, and No. 1 linebacker.
Why LB Thomas Heiberger chose to commit to the #Badgers now:
“They’ve got a plan for Wisconsin football. They’re going to be competing for Big Ten championships. I truly believe that. That’s why I wanted to be a part of it.”

Wisconsin’s class of 2024 as a whole ranks No. 23 nationally and No. 7 in the new Big Ten.
Heiberger is among eight Wisconsin signees who enrolled early and are on campus for the offseason program. It appears he’s already making a positive impact.
