Trask on Kapplesberger: "Moritz brings valuable experience and quality as he joins us here at Wisconsin. Having played two years of Division I soccer (Duquense) Moritz understands the collegiate game and it has been a pleasure getting to know him through the recruiting process. Moritz brings a cultured left foot and physical abilities needed to be a top-level center back in the Big Ten. When his name appeared on the transfer portal we jumped at an opportunity to bring this natural leader into the 2020 Badger soccer team. Moritz will provide another experienced defender in our back line this coming fall."

Tiemeyer on Kapplesberger: "I am excited to have Moritz join Badger soccer. He is a player I saw a few years ago while recruiting in Germany.  He most recently excelled as a center back at Duquesne University following an exceptional career at Unterhaching in the German Youth Bundesliga. Very strong in the tackle and in the air, able to communicate to teammates on the field and strong passing ability sum up Moritz's game."
