Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers secured a massive recruiting win in the 2024 class when they went into South Florida and pulled four-star cornerback Xavier Lucas away from his homestate football programs.
And that win is already translating into on-field success this season.
Lucas has quickly established himself as a key contributor in Wisconsin’s secondary and has shown flashes of the skillset that made him such a coveted recruit. His ability to adapt to the speed of the college game has been evident, especially in a unit that deserpately needed an injection of young talent.
