With a significant portion of his defensive backfield injured following spring practice, defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard could use some help.
That may be why the Badgers are pursuing Utah safety Kamo’I Latu through the transfer portal.
UW offered Latu a scholarship Saturday.
He was a 3-star prospect when he graduated high school in Honolulu in 2020.
He played all 14 games for the Pac-12 champion Utes last season, producing 19 tackles and breaking up three passes.
The Badgers have only four healthy safeties on the roster and two of them are walk-ons who have never played in a college game.
