    The Wisconsin Badgers football staff has been closely connected to one of the top players still in the transfer portal.

    Recent portal entry Jaheim Thomas from Cincinnati has been connected to the Badgers since his entrance into the portal. Luke Fickell and his Wisconsin staff once recruited and coached Thomas, which could factor into his decision. Thomas is an immediate impact player that could fit directly into the plans that coach Fickell has in place for his team.

    In his latest edition of Fact or Fiction, Mike Farrell took three of the biggest names remaining in the transfer portal and looked at their options. One of the players Farrell spoke about was transfer linebacker Jaheim Thomas, a former starter for the Cincinnati Bearcats. Farrell acknowledged that Thomas is one of the best linebackers in the portal and could likely land with the Badgers due to his connection to the coaching staff.

    A season ago, Thomas had his best year yet securing 70 total tackles and two sacks. In 2021, Thomas recorded 23 tackles and 0.5 sacks as he worked to earn more playing time. Thomas enters the transfer portal just before the window closes on April 30th. The linebacker is still searching for the next program he will play for as more teams begin to reach out.

    The next destination for Thomas is not as cut and dry as many may think, however. Some insiders believe that Thomas is a lock to land with the Badgers, but Farrell is still not sold on the idea as he stated it is “…not a lock, but likely…” when referring to the potential transfer move. As mentioned before, Thomas is one of the best players in the portal at his position and now enters a second recruitment phase. The linebacker already knows the scheme and the football mentality that coach Luke Fickell can provide as his former player. Perhaps Thomas will use this opportunity to try a different scheme or learn from a different coaching staff.

    The talented linebacker has been silent on the situation as well, which has made it difficult to truly predict where he will land. Most insiders, like Farrell, believe at this point that Thomas may want to continue to play under the coach he thrived with a year ago. If Thomas truly feels this way, the Wisconsin Badgers could nearly be a lock to land one of the better players available.

    Wisconsin will have to continue to work to land the talented linebacker Jaheim Thomas as the transfer portal reaches closing time.
