Madison, Wis. — After spring practice, Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin football coaching staff left feeling great about their top three cornerbacks, Alexander Smith, Ricardo Hallman, and Jason Maitre. However, the depth behind them was suspect, which led to a slew of transfers, making an offseason transfer portal addition a must. 

After sifting through the portal searching for a system fit with multiple years of eligibility, the Badgers found their man. Wisconsin coaches worked tirelessly behind the scenes to flip former Grand Valley State defensive back and offseason Vanderbilt commit Nyzier Fourqurean.

Fourqurean was the No. 70 transfer cornerback. After entering the portal, the former All-American picked up offers from Tulane, Charlotte, James Madison, and Georgia Southern.

As a sophomore, the 6-foot-1, 185-pound CB registered 28 tackles, 14 pass deflections, and four interceptions. During Fourqurean’s freshman year at Grand Valley State, he totaled 13 tackles and one pass breakup.

The former Division 2 All-American cornerback reunites with his former head coach Matt Mitchell, now leading the Wisconsin football outside linebackers. It’s believed that their previous connection played a significant factor in UW completing the flip.

Nyzier Fourqurean took to Twitter to announce his commitment to the University of Wisconsin football program.
