Duclona becomes the fourth known player to announce his intention to transfer, joining quarterback Cole LaCrue, outside linebacker Leon Lowery, and fellow cornerback Amare Snowden. These announcements come on the heels of Wisconsin’s season-ending loss to Minnesota, with the winter transfer window officially opening on Monday, Dec. 9.

The Badgers will need to replace a starter on the defensive front. Here's what it means and the impact they're losing.

Madison, WI— A second member of Wisconsin football head coach Luke Fickell's inaugural recruiting class is leaving. This is the second second-year player in the defensive secondary the Badgers are set to lose to the transfer portal.
