Wisconsin Badgers Promote Linebackers Coach

On March 6th was Conson Badger's football at a rough defensive season in 2025, but their

linebackers stood out.

True freshman Mason Posah and Cooper Catalano stepped up big with Posah racking up 61

tackles, four tackles for loss, and four sacks.

Catalano was right behind with 56 tackles, four and a half tackles for loss, and two sacks.

The team just announced a key promotion for assistant linebackers coach Tuft Borland,

including him up to inside linebackers coach.

This comes as part of several staff changes, including a new White Receivers coach and

specialteens coordinator.

Borland brings a strong playing background from Ohio State, where he earned defensive

MVP honors in the 2020 Sugar Bowl win over Clemson.

He was a three time captain there, but his coached only at Wisconsin so far.

Other shifts include Chris Warley stepping in as assistant defensive backs coach, Matt

Mitchell taking over outside linebackers, and Brian Sandborn.

Joining as a defensive assistant, Mike Tressel stays on as defensive coordinator, signaling

stability amid these tweaks as the Badgers build for next season.
