Shortly after the news broke that cornerback Xavier Lucas intended to transfer to the Miami Hurricanes without actually entering the transfer portal, the Wisconsin Badgers broke their silence on the situation, providing a statement.
The Badgers revealed that Lucas had agreed to a binding two-year agreement with Wisconsin Athletics, while also executing a deal with the Varsity Collective.
“We are disappointed that Xavier Lucas has chosen to withdraw from the University of Wisconsin,” the statement read. “He has been a valued member of our football program, and we were looking forward to helping him continue to grow as a student, a person, and a football player.
