The spring transfer portal window for Wisconsin football opened on April 16, with the team facing needs on the offensive side due to recent departures. Left tackle Kevin Heywood suffered a torn ACL, while tight end Tanner Koziol and wide receiver Mark Hamper left for the portal. The Badgers seek replacements as the window remains open until April 25.
Koziol, a standout from Ball State, and Hamper, a rising sophomore, were key additions in the winter transfer class but have since departed. With the roster adjustments needed, the team aims to address the vacancies at left tackle and tight end. The departures highlight the evolving landscape of college football transfers, with uncertainties around player commitments affecting team compositions.
