The Wisconsin football staff worked hard to bring in talent in the 2024 recruiting class, and one specific enrollee seems prepared to make an impact.
Thomas Heiberger, a four-star linebacker in the 2024 recruiting class, has made his way to Madison and has already begun to make a name for himself. Heiberger was the top-ranked recruit in South Dakota and garnered plenty of interest from the Wisconsin football staff due to his aggressive playing style. Since signing on with the Badgers, Heiberger has dominated in the weight room and impressed his coaches.
Wisconsin Football Signee Thomas Heiberger Set to Make Potentially Massive Impact in 2024
If there is one thing in this 2024 recruiting class Wisconsin football has been looking for, it is play-makers. Wisconsin has desperately recruited talented, aggressive, and intelligent players who fit perfectly into the style of football they want to play. One of the first recruits Wisconsin knew they had to secure in order to do so was linebacker Thomas Heiberger, the epitome of the style of football Head Coach Luke Fickell strives to play.
Heiberger, the top ranked recruit in the state of South Dakota, has made a name for himself as a tenacious tackling machine with incredible pursuit ability. The linebacker is an athletic and intelligent player who is consistently finding ways to finish the play around the football. As an early signee, Heiberger has already made his way to Madison to lift and workout with the Badgers team and staff.
In just the short time he has spent in Madison, Heiberger has made a name for himself among the staff and players as an incredibly hard worker. The linebacker has been awarded ‘Dawg of the Week’ by the Wisconsin strength staff twice already, a title given to the hardest workers in the gym.
Can the Wisconsin Badgers Football Staff Find a Role for Heiberger Right Away?
With the way that Heiberger plays and works off the field, it should not be hard for the linebacker to carve out a role for himself as a Freshman. Wisconsin is delighted with his hard work early on and loves the potential the athlete possesses, so it could be hard for the Badgers to keep Heiberger off the field.
Between the speed and size of Heiberger as well, the 6-foot-4-inch linebacker could also become a threat in the special teams game.
A Look Ahead: Which Recruits Will Make the Biggest Impact in 2024
While Heiberger could certainly make an impact for Wisconsin football early on, there are also other 2024 recruits that can do the same. Another name that comes to mind immediately is running back Dilin Jones, who has yet to sign his letter of intent.
Jones is a dynamic, flashy running back that can help the Badgers offensively in a variety of ways. It should be easy for Jones to step into a big role next season.
