Wisconsin safety Hunter Wohler is having no trouble translating his terrific collegiate production to the practice field at the Reese’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.
Wohler has been the subject of several ‘practice standout’ reports by the media in attendance. Longtime Wisconsin sports writer Gery Woelfel even quoted an NFL scout calling the former Badger star ‘a baller.’

Wohler entered the NFL draft after four years with the Badgers. During that time, he played in 43 games, including 24 combined starts during the 2023 and 2024 seasons. He finished his career with 229 total tackles, 12 for loss, two sacks, three interceptions and 13 pass deflections. The Muskego, Wisconsin native’s best season came as a junior in 2023: 120 tackles, six for loss, one sack and two interceptions. That tackle total was the most by any Big Ten defensive back, plus the most by a Wisconsin DB since Reggie Holt tallied 144 in 1991.
Wohler is currently projected as a late-round pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Continued strong play at the Senior Bowl, a key draft showcase, could see that stock climb before the pre-draft process continues with the NFL combine.
For more on Wohler’s Senior Bowl performance, here are some of the notable highlights and reactions from the media in attendance:
