Wisconsin Badgers football has scheduled its first transfer portal visit
The Badgers are bringing in a defensive lineman from an elite Division II program for a visit
The Wisconsin Badgers’ transfer portal pursuit has been going on behind the scenes for multiple weeks, but there’s finally a visit on the docket.
Will Leblanc, a redshirt freshman defensive lineman from Division II UT Permian Basin, will be in Madison on Jan. 6, according to a report from On3 Sports.
It’s worth noting the Badgers likely have other visits privately scheduled, but they can’t be announced until a player has their name officially placed in the portal.
LeBlanc, 6-foot-4 and 285 pounds, was part of a Permian Basin team that advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II Championship.

Still, as a young talent with a Division I body, the Badgers could look to further develop Leblanc into being a contributor down the road. After all, LeBlanc, a Spring, Texas native, came out of high school unranked.
