Wisconsin football is actively pursuing South Dakota transfer left tackle Joe Cotton, who has garnered significant interest from multiple teams. The 6-foot-7, 315-pound tackle, a former FCS Freshman All-American, is considered one of the top players in the spring transfer window and the most sought-after at his position. Cotton's impressive performance at South Dakota has attracted attention from numerous programs, including Wisconsin, Alabama, and Michigan, among others.
With the unfortunate injury to starting left tackle Kevin Heywood, Wisconsin sees Cotton as a potential replacement for the upcoming season. Cotton's experience as a key player for South Dakota and his standout performances make him a valuable addition to any team. The Badgers are in a favorable position to secure Cotton's commitment, as they are one of the two teams with an official visit already scheduled. The team's pursuit of Cotton reflects their strategy to strengthen the roster following recent changes in the offensive lineup.
