Wisconsin Badgers' Transfer Portal Boost

On March 28, Wisconsin Badgers went hard in the transfer portal this off-season, stacking

their defense for a real shot at 2026.

They targeted the secondary big time, bringing in transfers projected to start right away,

while banking on young returners to level up.

They snagged Javon Robinson from Arizona State, Kai Bates from Florida State, Bryce West

from Ohio State, and Eric Fletcher from Oklahoma State.

Freshman, Carson Elams, and Donovan Dunmore joined the mix too, beefing up a corner-back

room that was thin last year.

Returners, like Cairo Scains, Jai Mir Scott, and Jai Mir Washington saw early action as

Freshman.

Coach Mike Tressel is hyped on Scott's mindset shift, saying the 6'1, 192-pound kid now

fully believes it's his time to compete and ball out.

That flash marks length and speed in 2025, but lacked that killer confidence.

Now with deeper depth, he's not getting overlooked.

Everyone's pushing for spots in the two deep.

Spring balls about to be a straight-up war at corner, sorting this talent-packed group

and building the foundation for a tougher Badger Secondary.
