Biegel's father, Rocky, was a linebacker for BYU from 1988–92 and a second-team All-WAC player in 1990. His uncle, T.D., played fullback alongside his father for BYU from 1989-93. His grandfather, Ken Biegel, played linebacker and offensive guard for the division III UW–Eau Claire Blugolds. His younger brother, Hayden Biegel, plays offensive tackle at UW-Madison.
Biegel grew up on a cranberry marsh near Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin that was originally established by his mother's ancestors in 1919; he, his brother, and his sister are the fifth generation of the family to have worked the farm. He regularly worked on the marsh while growing up, although his football development eventually limited his farm work.
Biegel's senior year he recorded 172 tackles, 21 sacks, three interceptions, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and two defensive touchdowns. He was named the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association Defensive Player of the Year, 2011 Gatorade State Player of the Year in Wisconsin as well as being a member of the 2011 USA Today All-USA high school football team.
Regarded as a four-star recruit by four major recruiting services; Rivals.com, Scout.com, ESPN.com and 247Sports.com. Biegel committed to Wisconsin his junior year of high school, on April 23, 2011.
