MADISON – Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell and his assistants have been mining the transfer portal this spring, looking in particular for linemen and wide receivers.

The Badgers on Friday landed their third transfer of the spring when they received an oral commitment from Boston College wide receiver Joseph Griffin Jr.

Griffin, 6-foot-3 and 199 pounds, played two seasons at Boston College and has two seasons of eligibility.

Griffin visited Madison earlier this week. He recorded 18 catches for 234 yards and five touchdowns as a freshman and 25 catches for 345 yards and one touchdown as a sophomore.

UW earlier this spring added offensive linemen Leyton Nelson of Vanderbilt and Joey Okla of Illinois.

The Badgers continue to search for defensive linemen, an area lacking experienced depth heading into the 2024 season.
