MADISON – The Wisconsin football team suffered one more indignity from its 2025 season.
No Badgers were selected in the NFL draft that concluded April 25. That is a first for the program since 1978.
That said, a number of Wisconsin players will get a shot at the NFL as undrafted free agents. The signings started soon after the completion of the draft.
Here is a running look at the Badgers free agent sginings. Check back for updates.
Tom Pellissero of the NFL Network reported the signing. Brown, who tested off the charts during Wisconsin’s pro day, joins a Colts roster that includes former teammates Hunter Wohler and Tannor Bortolini and former great Jonathan Taylor.
Badger247sports reported first that Anthony signed with the Falcons. There he’ll be in the building with former UW receivers coach Jordan Reid, who is Atlanta’s assistant quarterbacks coach.
Per NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Reiger will join the Dolphins. Reiger was the Badger who was believed to have the best chance of getting drafted based on his performance at the East-West Shrine Bowl where he was the defensive MVP as well as his work at the NFL combine.
The Giants lost a huge piece of their defense when they traded defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to Cincinnati. They drafted Bobby Jamison-Travis in the sixth round out of Auburn in addition to adding Barten (6-5, 330).
Peterson (6-1, 260) joins a team that drafted no players at his position. The graduate student led the Badgers in tackles for loss (11 ½) and sacks (6 ½) last season.
Mason (6-4, 250) joins the defending Super Bowl champion. He led UW in receiving yards (398) and touchdown receptions (four) in his only season with the Badgers.
The wait is over for Fourqurean, who returns to the field after a failed attempt to gain an additional year of eligibility with the Badgers last season. In 2024, his last season playing, he made 51 tackles, broke up six passes and had one interception.
