Wisconsin in pursuit of FCS All-American transfer cornerback

Wisconsin in pursuit of FCS transfer cornerback

Wisconsin extended an offer to William & Mary transfer cornerback Sascha Garcia on Sunday.

The Badgers are looking to bolster a cornerback room that lost significant depth to the transfer portal this month, in addition to projected starter Xavier Lucas (pending a resolution of the current situation). The room is the program’s biggest need at this stage of the transfer process.

Garcia entered the portal after two seasons at William & Mary. He redshirted in 2023 before playing in 14 games in 2024, totaling 19 total tackles (14 solo) and 11 pass deflections. That output was enough to earn Football Championship Subdivision Freshman All-American honors.

Wisconsin is contending with reported offers from Maryland, Cincinnati, UMass, Western Kentucky, Eastern Carolina, Sacramento State, Utah State and Akron.

Garcia would instantly add impressive depth to the Badgers’ cornerback room, if not a day-one starting option. He is in the portal with three years of eligibility remaining.

Wisconsin added outside linebacker John Pius from William & Mary last offseason. While Pius did not reach expectations atop the Badgers’ linebacker depth chart in 2024, the team doesn’t appear hesitant to keep pursuing the program’s top transfers.
