The Wisconsin Badgers were one of the most active teams in the transfer portal this offseason, adding over 20 transfers to replenish the depth they lost.
That was an increase for the Badgers, who had brought in 16 and 15 transfers in head coach Luke Fickell’s first two offseasons, respectively, as Wisconsin wanted more experience in the room.
The Badgers could have double-digit transfer starters in 2025, especially with Nyzier Fourqurean’s status now unclear, which is a shift from the team’s methodology of building via high school recruiting.
That coincides with a 2026 recruiting class that hasn’t been up to par thus far, with Wisconsin looking to go big and missing out on a number of key targets.
