The University of Wisconsin football program will be without one of its most talented young wide receivers on the roster in 2026.
Eugene Hilton Jr. announced his intention to enter the transfer portal when it opens on Jan. 2, ending a brief but promising chapter as a member of the Wisconsin Badgers and reopening the door on what many around the program believed was just the beginning of his development.
Hilton, a 6-foot-1, 202-pound wideout from Indiana, appeared in all 12 games for the Badgers as a true freshman, finishing the season with eight receptions for 91 yards while logging 158 offensive snaps, per PFF.
