It isn’t exactly getting the band back together, but for the second time in two years a former Pittsburgh running back is transferring to Wisconsin.
After Rachid Ibrahim announced on Instagram on Monday night that he was “Officially a Badger,” the school acknowledged the move Tuesday on Twitter, linking Ibrahim’s Instagram post with a message saying “Welcome to the family, Rachid.”
Ibrahim is a graduate transfer (a la Russell Wilson) and is eligible to play immediately for the Badgers. He has one year of eligibility remaining
Ibrahim joins a crowded backfield, which includes Chris James, his former Pitt teammate who sat out the 2016 season after transferring to Wisconsin from the Panthers.
