Snowden is one of 16 Wisconsin scholarship players to enter the portal since the conclusion of the 2024 season. He is the first to find a new destination.

The former four-star class of 2023 recruit played for two years at Wisconsin. He originally joined the Badgers’ class after flipping his commitment from Cincinnati, following head coach Luke Fickell.

Snowden did not see the field as a true freshman in 2023, then recorded just a single tackle in brief action in 2024. He was one of several class of 2023 cornerbacks to enter the transfer portal this week. Only four of the 15 members of that class remain with the program, the rest having transferred out either this offseason or last.

Snowden was recruited for both baseball and football coming out of high school. His commitment to Wisconsin signaled a focus on the latter, as the school does not have a varsity baseball program.

The Roseville, Michigan native has appeared to find a new destination where he can play both. The Rockets went 7-5 on the football field in 2024, making the program’s fourth consecutive bowl game. The baseball program, meanwhile, finished sixth in the MAC in 2024 at 16-14.
