Wisconsin Badgers Football Signs Transfer Receiver Dekel Crowdus

Wisconsin has strengthened its wide receiver group by adding Hawaii transfer Dekel Crowdus, who previously started his college career at Kentucky. Crowdus, a former four-star recruit, averaged an impressive 25.1 yards per catch last season at Hawaii, totaling 402 yards and four touchdowns on just 16 receptions. He joins a Wisconsin offense under coordinator Jeff Grimes that is seeking more big plays downfield, an area where Crowdus' speed and playmaking ability could prove valuable. His arrival comes after the departure of two scholarship outside receivers, potentially giving him a significant role as both a backup and situational deep threat. Crowdus chose Wisconsin over offers from several other programs, including Arkansas, Kansas, Utah, and West Virginia. This transfer marks Wisconsin's fourth portal commitment this spring, as the team continues to bolster its offensive roster.
