Donald is part of an extensive list of Wisconsin’s top remaining transfer targets.
As of Dec. 22, five defensive linemen have offered their pledge to join Luke Fickell’s program. That list includes Louisville edge rusher Mason Reiger, Tulane defensive lineman Parker Petersen, Western Michigan defensive lineman Corey Walker, UT-Martin defensive lineman Charles Perkins and Grambling State defensive lineman Michael Garner.
Given the pool of finalists, Wisconsin’s chance of landing Donald is relatively high. His commitment will be one to monitor as the Badgers continue to bolster their roster entering 2025.
