Madison, Wis. -- The University of Wisconsin football program is only one week into spring practice, and the Badgers are already looking to the transfer portal for help solidifying the secondary. 

On Monday evening, former Boston College cornerback Josh DeBerry posted on social media that he received a scholarship offer from the Badgers. Coastal Carolina, Arkansas, and Texas A&M are also in the mix.
