After securing Turner's commitment, Wisconsin has now added 11 players via the transfer portal. Turner joins a UW transfer class that currently ranks at No. 6 in the country and No. 1 in the Big Ten per the composite rankings.

What exactly was Wisconsin looking for, and where would those players come from? While the process of reaching out to prospects and scheduling visits is ongoing, the early stage of the portal window has proven to be revealing.

The Wisconsin football team took their first step towards restocking the quarterback room after gaining a commitment from QB Danny O'Neil, a transfer from San Diego State. O'Neil earned the starting job for the Aztecs as a true freshman, throwing for 2,181 yards and 12 touchdowns while completing 63.3% of his passes.

Badgers recruit Antarron Turner tied for the team lead in tackles at Western Carolina this season and was the leader in sacks.

Wisconsin landed a commitment from Western Carolina transfer linebacker Antarron Turner on Wednesday evening. Turner is the program’s 11th transfer commitment of the cycle and second of the day, following Ohio State wide receiver Jayden Ballard.

It continues to be a glass-half-empty offseason for the Wisconsin football team. A day after landing quarterbacks Billy Edwards and Danny O’Neil from the transfer portal, the Badgers saw starting wide receivers Will Pauling and CJ Williams enter it.

That strong start has the program’s class at No. 9 in 247Sports’ current team transfer portal class rankings. Related: Tracking Wisconsin football’s transfer portal offers, interests and commitments Wisconsin currently slots behind only No.
