Luke Fickell and the University of Wisconsin Football team received a ‘C’ grade from the national college recruiting website Rivals for its additions during the spring transfer portal window.
This period, which ran from April 16-30, allowed players to enter the portal after spring camp once they had a better idea of where they fell on the depth chart. During this window, the Wisconsin Badgers saw seven players depart, including Nick Evers, T.J. Bollers, Gabe Kirschke, Tommy McIntosh, Mike Jarvis, A.J. Tisdell, and Michael Mack.
In response, Wisconsin football, who was over the scholarship limit on paper, managed to secure three new commitments: Vanderbilt offensive lineman Leyton Nelson, Illinois offensive lineman Joey Okla, and Boston College wide receiver Joseph Griffin Jr.
