EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings are adding a veteran defensive lineman to the roster.

Minnesota has signed Isaiahh Loudermilk, the team announced Thursday.

Loudermilk overlapped in Pittsburgh with Vikings Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores (2022) and Defensive Pass Game Coordinator & Defensive Backs Coach Gerald Alexander (2022-23).

Loudermilk played collegiately at Wisconsin from 2016-20. He redshirted his freshman year and in 2017 played 11 games and helped the Badgers to a 13-1 record and Orange Bowl victory.

In the 2019 Big Ten Football Championship Game, Loudermilk recorded a sack and forced a fumble.

He earned All-Big Team Third-Team honors in 2020 and wrapped up his college career with 63 tackles, 7.5 sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss.

A native of Howard, Kansas, Loudermilk competed in baseball, football and track and field at West Elk High School.

He notably played 8-man football at the high school level before receiving Division I scholarship offers and committing to Wisconsin.
