Lowery started 11 games at linebacker in his one season at Wisconsin but failed to have as big of an impact as expected.

According to Jesse Temple of The Athletic, outside linebacker Leon Lowery will enter the transfer portal after just one season with the Badgers. Lowery, who transferred to Wisconsin from Syracuse over the summer, had just one sack in 2024 and 29 tackles (18 solo).

Lowery initially spent four seasons at Syracuse before transferring to Wisconsin to help revamp the team's pass rush under Mike Tressel. In 2023, Lowery was a key starter for the Orange, registering 46 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks.

Wisconsin top underclassman cornerback Jonas Duclona announced his intention to enter the transfer portal on Monday. Duclona is now the fourth Badger set to enter, joining QB Cole LaCrue, OLB Leon Lowery and CB Amare Snowden.
