Where Wisconsin football transfers will call home this upcoming season

Here are where each of the Wisconsin football transfers will be playing next season:

College athletics have changed forever with the implementation of the transfer portal and their ability to change schools one time without having to sit out a season.

All schools have fallen victim to offseason transfer portal attrition, and the University of Wisconsin is no different. Players leave a program for a multitude of reasons, whether that be in search of more playing time or simply to get closer to home.

Thankfully for UW, they’ve largely been able to keep their core pieces intact, while using their available scholarships to pursue immediate impact players to plug holes on the roster.

However, Wisconsin saw several players enter the transfer portal in hopes of finding a new home they deemed to be a better fit.

Here, in no particular order, are where Wisconsin football transfers will call home this upcoming season:

Wisconsin true freshman running back Antwan Roberts has entered the NCAA transfer portal, according to a tweet from Badger247 insider Evan Flood.

Roberts entered the program this year as a three-star recruit, the No. 1130 prospect in the class of 2021, No. 81 running back and No. 32 player from his home state of Tennessee.

The news comes after the aftermath of a reported altercation between freshman RB Loyal Crawford and Roberts, one which resulted in Crawford being dismissed from the program and Roberts suspended.

We still do not know many details of what occurred. What is known: neither Crawford nor Roberts will be with the program moving forward.

As current Wisconsin football players wonder what comes next, the future of the program has already been showing out on the gridiron in 2020. While the Badgers and the Big Ten have postponed football this fall, many high schools are already in the midst of their 2020 season. For 2021 Wisconsin RB commit Antwan Roberts, the first two games of his senior season have been nothing short of electrifying.

The Tennessee native has been the heart and soul of his Pope John Paul II team, en route to a 2-0 start. Per Jake Kocorowski of AllBadgers.com, who spoke with Roberts’ head coach Justin Geisinger, Roberts already has 54 carries for 384 yards (7.1 yards per carry) to go along with nine touchdowns. With wins over Lipscomb Academy and Smyrna per MaxPreps.com, the future Wisconsin back has lead the Knights to an undefeated start headed into week three.

A look at how Wisconsin football’s class of 2021 looks so far

A look at Wisconsin football’s class after the commitment of another 3-star recruit

With this morning’s commitment of 3-star running back Antwan Roberts via Twitter, the Badgers class of 2021 added another solid piece to an already impressive group. Here is a look at how the class shapes up as of today.

According to 247sports, the Badgers currently have the number five ranked 2021 football class in the nation. In terms of Big Ten conference rankings, UW enters in at second, behind only Ohio State.  Wisconsin’s class of 2021 currently features ten commitments, including two high-four star offensive lineman in JP Benzschawel and Riley Malman. Roberts became the third running back in the class, joining Wisconsin natives Jackson Acker and Loyal Crawford.

The Badgers have landed commitments from the top five players in the state of Wisconsin per 247sports rankings.  

Wisconsin coaches still have their eyes on a plethora of top targets in the 2021 class. Offensive tackle Nolan Rucci is the five-star brother of current Wisconsin tight end Hayden Rucci, and the Pennsylvania native’s recruiting battle is all but down to the Badgers, Clemson, and the Penn State Nittany Lions. Wisconsin is also in a recruiting battle for four-star WDE TJ Bollers, who recently listed the Badgers in his top-6. 

Three-star Santa Barbara (Calif.) quarterback Deacon Pe’a Hill is currently the only committed QB in the class of 2021. The pro-style QB has a massive arm, and recently earned an invite to the 2021 Polynesian Bowl

Paul Chryst and company continued their impressive recruiting season earlier today by landing three-star running back Antwan Roberts per his Twitter page.

The Hendersonville, Tennessee native chose Wisconsin over the likes of Duke, Louisville, Kentucky and Memphis.

He will enter a talented backfield in 2021 under offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph, one which is currently set to be headlined by four-star recruit Jalen Berger and former three-star recruit Nakia Watson.
