Destinations for Wisconsin football's spring transfer portal window departures
Destinations for Wisconsin football's spring transfer portal window departures The book on Wisconsin football's 2025 spring transfer window closed late last week, with the final unsigned departure, wide receiver Quincy Burroughs, announcing his destination. Wisconsin signed five transfers during the period. Missouri State tight end Lance Mason and offensive lineman Davis Heinzen headline that group, with each projecting to fill a key role in the team's offensive two-deep. Their additions were each direct responses to roster losses during the spring, as starting tight end Tanner Koziol reentered the portal and starting left tackle Kevin Heywood suffered a season-ending ACL injury. That five-player group adds to Wisconsin's impressive winter transfer haul. The program's overall 2025 transfer class, which ranks No. 14 nationally and No. 3 in the Big Ten, will be key to the team showing progress in year three under Luke Fickell. Meanwhile, the Badgers also saw six players depart via the portal during the spring window. With Burroughs now signed, here is a final look at where each ended up: Destinations for every Wisconsin football spring transfer Hamper and Koziol's departures are the most notable of the six, as each had joined the program during the winter transfer window and projected to fill a major role in the two-deep. Wisconsin took little time before replacing the two, adding Mason and Hawaii WR Dekel Crowdus during the spring window. Jensen will be a transfer departure to watch. He was Wisconsin's top in-state commit in the 2024 class and is headed to a strong program in Iowa State. Former Badger lineman Dylan Barrett has found success in making that same transfer move. Otherwise, Wisconsin did not see much notable spring transfer movement. Most of the program's significant departures and additions occurred during the winter period.

Wisconsin football sees third offensive skill player enter spring transfer portal window
Wisconsin receiver Quincy Burroughs makes a sideline catch during the team's 14th spring practice, which was held Tuesday morning April 30, 2024 at the McClain Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Mark Stewart / Milwaukee Journal Sentinel-USA TODAY NETWORK Wisconsin veteran wide receiver Quincy Burroughs announced his decision to enter the transfer portal on Tuesday. Burroughs becomes the third Badger to enter the portal during the spring window. He joins former Idaho wide receiver Mark Hamper and former Ball State tight end Tanner Koziol, who both just recently transferred into the program during the winter transfer window. Advertisement "I also want to give thanks to Coach [Luke Fickell], coaches & staff for everything they have done," Burroughs said in a statement on X. "I am forever grateful for the opportunity to wear the Motion W. Though after much prayer and talking with my family, I feel it's in my best interest to enter my name in the transfer portal as I explore other opportunities." The 6-foot-3 pass-catcher arrived in Madison following the 2022 season, transferring in after one year at Cincinnati under Fickell. He did not see any on-field action during that freshman season. Burroughs then appeared in all 13 games for the Badgers in 2023, primarily on special teams, and nine in 2024. The wideout concludes his Wisconsin career with five receptions for 43 yards and five special teams tackles. The Jacksonville, Florida, native originally entered the college scene as a consensus three-star recruit, ranked as the No. 994 overall player in the class of 2022, the No. 142 wide receiver and the No. 129 recruit from his home state of Florida. Advertisement Ahead of the 2025 season, Burroughs was listed as a depth option behind starting wideouts Vinny Anthony and Jayden Ballard, with top backups Joseph Griffin Jr., Chris Brooks Jr. and Tyrell Henry. Hamper was near the top of that receiver depth chart before also entering the portal. That position, although it boasts a strong starting group, has become a bit thin entering the spring portal window. It could be one that Wisconsin's coaching staff looks to bolster over the coming weeks. Outside of wide receiver, Wisconsin is in search of a replacement for starting left tackle Kevin Heywood, who suffered a torn ACL during spring practice. The team's offense is now in desperate need of depth in the trenches and on the outside, two pivotal components of any successful Big Ten offensive unit. The spring portal window officially spans from April 16 to 25. Burroughs is unlikely to be the last Badger to transfer.
