FOOTBALL Wohler named an Academic All-American

MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin junior safety Hunter Wohler was named a CSC Academic All-American, as announced by College Sports Communicators on Tuesday morning. Wohler earned a spot on the All-America second team.

Wohler, a Muskego, Wis., native, led the Badgers with 120 tackles on his way to earning AP All-Big Ten honors in 2023. Wohler tallied the most tackles for a Wisconsin defensive back since 1991 and became the only defensive back in the country to have 110+ tackles and multiple interceptions last season. 74 of Wohler’s 120 tackles were solos, the most in a single season for a Badger since 2001.

Wohler’s impressive season was highlighted by a two-interception performance versus Georgia Southern on Sept. 16 and a 12-tackle showing to close the regular season in a rivalry victory over Minnesota.

Off of the field, Wohler has maintained a 3.62 GPA in the Wisconsin School of Business within his Real Estate & Urban Land Economics degree program. In addition to his coursework, Wohler has been active with the Badgers’ community service efforts. Over the last year, Wohler has participated in reading at schools, Boys & Girls Club activities and visits to the American Family Children’s Hospital.

Wohler is the first Badger to earn Academic All-America status since defensive lineman Matt Henningsen was tabbed to the All-America first team in both 2020 and 2021. Wohler is the 20th Badger to earn the recognition since 1952.

FOOTBALL RECRUITING State by State: A look at Wisconsin's top '25 recruiting targets in Florida


I think we'll see a lot more action in Florida as we get into the spring and summer.

Who steps up next year on our Bball team?

OK, we lose Wahl, who does a lot of good things, but also a few bad things. We gain Freitag, Robison, and essentially Yalden. Who replaces Wahl? Do we go big with Winter? Small with Blackwell? Does Illver step up? Does Freitag come in and be a big contributor? Can Klesmit continue to be a big scoring threat? Can Winter add 15-20 lbs and be more of a presence inside? I know that I've asked a few of these questions before, but I personally think that if some of these come to fruition, we can be a legitimate final 4 team. If Yalden comes around, and improves, I like our chances!
