Madison, Wis. — On Wednesday evening, Wisconsin Badgers offensive tackle Logan Brown, whose been with the program for the last four seasons, announced his intentions to enter the transfer portal.
“To Wisconsin Football, thank you for the opportunity for the last 4 years,” Brown said in a post on social media. “I will be entering the transfer portal and will be continuing my academic and football career elsewhere.”
This decision comes shortly after former head coach Paul Chryst, who recruited Brown, was fired by Athletic Director Chris McIntosh.
Per the 247Sports composite, Brown was the No. 17 overall prospect in the 2019 recruiting class, the No. 4 OT in the country, and the No. 1 player in Michigan.
This season, the former five-star recruit was given every opportunity to earn the starting job at right tackle. Still, inconsistent play, specifically in pass protection, kept him from ever cementing his place among the top five offensive linemen.
According to PFF, the 6-foot-6, 313-pound tackle played 209 snaps and allowed a team-high four pressures this season.
Redshirt freshman Riley Mahlman won the RT job out of fall camp, and in-state product Trey Wedig appears to have surpassed him on the depth chart as well – closing the door on any immediate opportunities.
A fresh start seems to make the most sense for both sides at this point.
