In a significant move for the Wisconsin Badgers football program, the university is poised to appoint NFL executive Morocco Brown as its new general manager, as confirmed by sources in an exclusive report by Badger247. Brown, who previously held the position of chief personnel executive for the Indianapolis Colts, is expected to fill a crucial void following the promotion of Marcus Sedberry to interim athletic director. The news of Brown's hiring was initially reported by ESPN's Pete Thamel, highlighting the anticipation surrounding this strategic decision.
With an impressive tenure of eight years at the Colts, Brown has been instrumental in shaping the team's draft and scouting strategies while holding various roles within the organization. His extensive experience in the NFL has also seen him interview for multiple general manager positions, showcasing his competence and recognition in the league. Prior to the 2025 season, Brown parted ways with the Colts, adding to his portfolio of experience that includes stints with the Cleveland Browns, Washington Commanders, and Chicago Bears.
The need for a new general manager arose when Sedberry stepped into the interim athletic director role, succeeding Chris McIntosh. Wisconsin is currently in the process of searching for a permanent athletic director, with expectations that this search will conclude by the summer.
