Cooper Catalano and Mason Posa burst onto the scene late last season, providing a major bright spot in a woeful season for Wisconsin. The linebacker duo showcased a little bit of everything, from run stopping to tackles for loss, sacks, forced fumbles and dropping back into coverage. Luckily for Badger fans, the uber-talented duo is attacking this opportunity with all the right things in mind. It’s the kind of comparison that can get to the head of a young player, but not Catalano. Wisconsin linebacker Cooper Catalano (44) is shown before their game against Maryland Saturday, September 20, 2025 at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin.
