Kirschke jumps back to the Power Four level after a strong campaign at Colorado State. He tallied 42 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 6 1/2 sacks, one interception, two pass deflections and two forced fumbles, helping lead a Rams team that finished the regular season 8-4 before losing its bowl game.
The defensive lineman had plenty of interest this transfer cycle. He shared offers from Purdue, Kansas, Minnesota, Houston, West Virginia, Ole Miss and Wake Forest.
Kirschke appeared in just one game over two seasons with the Badgers. He originally joined the program as a walk-on in its class of 2022, choosing the program over several scholarship offers.
The defensive lineman transferred out after the 2023 campaign. He was one of several Wisconsin transfers to have a breakout 2024 season at a new destination. His path represents the potential benefit of transferring to a lower-level destination where playing time is available. After one year, he’s already back in the Power Four (ACC).
