The University of Wisconsin football program continued to reshape its secondary by adding a transfer cornerback from a Big Ten powerhouse.

Ohio State cornerback Bryce West has committed to the Badgers, giving Wisconsin’s coaching staff another talented young defensive back to develop as the roster takes shape for 2026. West arrives with three years of eligibility remaining after spending two seasons with the Buckeyes.
