Wisconsin redshirt freshman running back Nate White is entering the transfer portal, according to 247Sports’ Evan Flood.
He would be the 10th Badger to enter the portal since the team’s season concluded last Friday. Of note, he is yet another member of the program’s class of 2023 to depart after only two seasons.

White originally joined the program as a three-star recruit in that class. He was ranked by 247Sports as the No. 694 player in the country, No. 51 running back and No. 1 recruit from the state of Wisconsin.
The versatile running back did not see any playing time during his two years with the program. He was stuck in a crowded running back room, led by players including Braelon Allen, Chez Mellusi, Tawee Walker, Cade Yacamelli and Darrion Dupree over that time.
His path to future carries was a tough one. Wisconsin’s class of 2024 included top commits Dilin Jones and Dupree at the position, plus three-star Gideon Ituka. Even with Walker and Mellusi gone after 2024, the position group projects to be one of the deepest on the team moving forward.

White’s departure isn’t a surprise given that standing. But it is noteworthy, since he is now the 10th player from Wisconsin’s class of 2023 to enter the portal. Of the 15-signee class, only LB Christian Alliegro, LB Tyler Jansey, TE Tucker Ashcraft, DL Jamel Howard and iOL James Durand remain with the program.
Both White and promising wide receiver Trech Kekahuna joined the group of departures from that class on Wednesday.
