Don’t know if Michael Farr is big enough for OLB, but he does list himself as 6’ 195 now.
Perhaps Hellendrung could project to LB.
A Wisconsin LB I did not include is this prospect who would be an awesome get as a recruit:

https://247sports.com/recruitment/be...ruitinterests/

Has 14 offers, including Kansas.
Just tweeted a few days ago about a scheduled visit to Lawrence and just took a visit to Madison.
Other offers for Ben Wenzel include Thee SDSU,
Aztecs plus Wyoming Buffalo Western Michigan Miami (Ohio)

Hellendrung is my guess.

Losing an offered prospect to NAU???? Yuck
