The University of Wisconsin football program is getting one of its most talented young wide receivers back in the fold for 2026.
After briefly entering the transfer portal, Eugene Hilton Jr. announced that he has officially withdrawn his name and will return to Wisconsin, keeping a promising developmental piece in the Badgers’ wide receiver room at a moment when roster continuity matters just as much as talent.
“Ain’t really leave but I’m back,” Hilton wrote.
For a program that has spent the offseason reshaping its offense, Hilton’s decision to stay in Madison represents more than just retention.
