The Badgers are losing a cornerback for the spring transfer portal.
The Wisconsin Badgers are losing a cornerback to the transfer portal, as redshirt freshman Jay Harper announced his intentions to leave the program on Wednesday.
Harper, a three-star recruit in the Class of 2024, did not see any game action as a true freshman in 2024. He was competing to be a reserve cornerback with the Badgers this offseason on the field side behind Ricardo Hallman, rotating in with Miami transfer D’Yoni Hill and fellow redshirt freshman Omillio Agard.
Standing 5’10, 176 pounds, Harper had offers from Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Louisville, Mississippi State, Georgia Tech, and West Virginia, among others, before committing to Wisconsin.
He was a part of a three-cornerback class in 2024 alongside Agard and four-star Xavier Lucas. He now becomes the second to depart behind Lucas after just one season at Wisconsin.
The Badgers could now be in search of a scholarship cornerback in the transfer portal. They’ve already looked at options at wide receiver, offensive line, and tight end, where they’ve either lost players to the transfer portal or to injury.
