Plenty of change is coming to the Wisconsin football program after missing out on a bowl game for the first time in two-plus decades this past fall.

Head coach Luke Fickell will be hitting the transfer portal hard, as several of his own players have already declared for it. 

The transfer portal officially opened on Dec. 9 and closes on Dec. 28. Here is a list of players who have entered the portal from Wisconsin:
