Wide Receiver A.J. Abbott enters the transfer portal

Wide Receiver A.J. Abbott enters the transfer portal.

On Tuesday afternoon it was announced that junior wide receiver A.J. Abbott had entered the transfer portal.

This decision is hardly a shock considering the Badgers wide receiver room is beginning to get a little crowded. The coaching staff is moving Dean Engram to receiver, signed three wide-outs in the 2022 class, and added one more (Keontez Lewis) in the transfer portal.

The former three-star recruit played just 26 snaps on offense this past season, and has only been targeted three times in his career at Wisconsin. In three seasons donning the cardinal and white, the junior wide-out has caught three passes for 19 yards.

Two more Wisconsin Badgers enter the transfer portal

Two more Wisconsin players enter the transfer portal this week:

Whether it’s the new age of college football, playing time issues, a slow start to Wisconsin’s season, or some combination of all three, the Badgers have now seen four players transfer out of the program in the last ten days.

First reported by Wisconsin beat writer Jesse Temple of The Athletic, fullback Quan Easterling and cornerback Donte Burton have both entered the transfer portal. Easterling was a 2019 three-star recruit out of Ohio and becomes the third offensive player, alongside wide receiver Devin Chandler and center Kayden Lyles, to enter the portal this week.

Burton appeared in a game during every year of his Wisconsin career, and has five starts to his name as a Badger. He was a 2018 three-star recruit out of Georgia, and appeared in three games this season with the last coming in the win over Illinois.
