Luke Fickell dipped into his alma mater and grabbed one of their highest ceiling cornerbacks, Bryce West, out of the transfer portal. This is an elite pickup for so many reasons, and Ryan Day had high hopes for West going forward, which hopefully Wisconsin makes him pay for not investing in West and keeping him in Columbus.
West was a former 4-star recruit out of Cleveland, Ohio, and was a top-75 recruit in the 2024 class. He used his redshirt the first season and played this year for Ohio State. He will have three years left.
