by: Evan Flood01/21/26Evan_Flood

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell met with the media on Wednesday to recap the 2026 transfer portal class. The Badgers have currently signed 32 players. According to On3, UW has the No. 13 ranked transfer portal class in the country, and the third-best class in the Big Ten, trailing only Indiana and UCLA.

Fickell and Wisconsin are coming off a 4-8 season in 2025. However, the Badgers finished relatively strong, winning two of their last three games, including wins over Associated Press Top 25 opponents, Washington and Illinois, respectively.
