Sedberry Navigates GM Role, Football's Future

On April 24th, Wisconsin's Inter-Mathletic Director, Marcus Sedbury, is deep into figuring

out the football general manager spot.

Two weeks back, he was spending 80-90% of his time on the program, but now his schedule's

shifting as he settles into the big chair.

That GM role handles contracts, agents, and the whole foreign office, making it crucial

for operations.

He's been meeting with everyone in the 900 Employee Athletic Department, which runs

23 sports on a $203 million budget.

Sedbury and Coach Luke Fickle plans to map it out after spring practices, weighing options

like an interim hire or going straight permanent.

No one's panicking because the football staff is solid, built up under fickle with folks

like recruiting director Pat Lambert, scouting headdarius, Hicks, and NIL expert Justin

Reed stepping up.

McIntosh's exit caught some off guard, but the front office is carrying the load right

now.

Sedbury helps too.

The roster's locked for next season, and they've snagged eight commits for the 2027 class

already.

It's a slower stretch, but official visits kick off end of May, so they can't drag their

feet.

Sedbury's keeping all doors open to ensure clear trust between the GM, fickle, and the team,

setting them up strong as recruiting heats back up.
