The Wisconsin Badgers football staff will host several 2023 prospects this weekend on official visits. Leading up to the big weekend for Wisconsin recruiting, All Badgers will profile each player who will be in Madison on June 3.

After profiling a trio of offensive linemen in Joe Crocker, Christopher Terek, and James Durand so far, we now turn our attention to one of Wisconsin's top overall targets, Louisiana linebacker Tackett Curtis.
