Former Wisconsin cornerback transfer commits to Incarnate Word

Former Wisconsin cornerback A.J. Tisdell announced his transfer commitment to Incarnate Word on Friday.

Tisdell entered the transfer portal on April 26 after spending only the 2023 season with the Badgers.

The former three-star recruit was 247Sports’ No. 796 player in the class of 2023, No. 81 cornerback and No. 124 recruit from his home state of Texas. He originally committed to Wisconsin in June of 2022, back when Paul Chryst was still head coach. The cornerback opted to stay committed once Luke Fickell took over after the 2022 season.

He now transfers to an Incarnate Word program that went 8-2 in 2023 in its first season under head coach Clint Killough. The FCS program boasts three Southland Conference Championships since 2018 and is established as one of the better programs at its level of college football.

Former Wisconsin cornerback secures offer from Division I program in Missouri

Former Wisconsin cornerback A.J. Tisdell received an offer from the University of Incarnate Word on Wednesday, per his social media.

After exercising his redshirt season as a freshman, Tisdell elected to enter the transfer portal on April 26 for a change of scenery. The College Station, Texas native had previously signed with the Badgers on Dec. 21, 2022.

Tisdell received offers from 13 programs prior to committing to Wisconsin. Those included Texas Tech, California, Vanderbilt, Tulane, SMU and Kansas State.

His first offer arrived in November 2021 from Texas Tech. From that point forward, the former three-star earned offers from some of the most prestigious programs in the nation before his official visit with the Badgers in June 2022. Less than a week later, he committed.

At College Station High School, Tisdell played receiver, corner and return man during his senior season for the Cougars. In track and field, he ran an 11.53-second 100-meter and a 22.85-second 200-meter as a junior in 2022.

Wisconsin Badgers freshman cornerback enters transfer portal

Another Wisconsin defender enters the transfer portal:

Wisconsin freshman cornerback A.J. Tisdell entered the transfer portal on Friday.

The young corner was a three-star recruit in the program’s class of 2023 and redshirted during his first collegiate season.

Tisdell was 247Sports’ No. 796 player in the class of 2023, No. 81 cornerback and No. 124 recruit from his home state of Texas. He initially committed to Paul Chryst’s Wisconsin program in June of 2022 and stayed on once Luke Fickell got the job later that year.

RivalsPortal on X noted that Tisdell recorded 61 tackles and one interception on defense, plus nearly 300 receiving yards on offense in 2022. It should be noted those numbers were from his senior season at College Station High School.

Wisconsin’s coaching staff has prioritized the cornerback position since taking over at the end of the 2022 season. That emphasis has seen several transfers enter, plus a few highly-touted high school recruits. The cornerback room got busy in a hurry, which could’ve led to Tisdell’s departure.

Wisconsin gets 247Sports Crystal Ball Prediction for 2023 CB AJ Tisdell

Wisconsin picks up 247Sports Crystal Ball Prediction for 2023 cornerback AJ TIsdell:

On Friday morning, 247Sports writer Evan Flood announced his Crystal Ball Prediction for 2023 cornerback AJ Tisdell to commit to the Wisconsin Badgers.

The College Station, Texas, native was offered by the Badgers on April 8th and plans to take his official visit at Wisconsin on June 10th. Flood gave his prediction with medium confidence and a six rating.

Tisdell currently holds offers from several other power-five schools including Baylor, Texas Tech and Vanderbilt, but has no other Crystal Ball Predictions.

It would be a great pick-up for the Badgers if they are able to land the 2023 cornerback, but fans will likely have to wait until after his official visit on June 10th for more information.
