Wisconsin football lands SE Louisiana transfer WR Jaylon Domingeaux
Former Southeastern Louisiana wide receiver Jaylon Domingeaux has committed to the Wisconsin Badgers through the transfer portal.
The University of Wisconsin football program continued to rebuild its wide receiver room through the transfer portal, and this addition brings real production, coming from the FCS level.
Southeastern Louisiana wide receiver Jaylon Domingeaux has committed to play for the Badgers following an official visit, giving Wisconsin a playmaker with one year of eligibility remaining at a position of need.
Domingeaux arrives in Madison after a highly productive three-year run with the Southeastern Louisiana Lions, where he steadily developed into one of the most reliable offensive weapons in the Southland Conference.
Listed at 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds, he brings a physical frame and a résumé that reflects both durability and continued growth on the field.
The numbers are impressive.
This past season, Domingeaux posted 52 receptions for 857 yards and 11 touchdowns, earning All-Southland Conference honors and serving as the focal point of the Lions’ passing game. Over the course of 36 career games, he totaled 106 catches for 1,512 yards and 14 touchdowns, with the bulk of that production coming during his junior year in a featured role.
The advanced data support the surface-level production.
According to Pro Football Focus, Domingeaux logged 681 total snaps last season and finished with a 76.4 overall offensive grade, including a 76.8 mark as a pass catcher and a 65.6 grade as a run blocker.
He worked primarily as an outside receiver but also logged 41 snaps in the slot, showing some positional flexibility. Over his collegiate career, he amassed 1,793 total snaps, giving talent evaluators a more meaningful sample size.
That matters given where Wisconsin sits right now.
The Badgers entered the offseason facing massive turnover at wide receiver, losing Trech Kekahuna to the transfer portal, while also graduating experienced contributors Vinny Anthony and Jayden Ballard. At the moment, Chris Brooks Jr. is the only returning scholarship wideout with significant on-field experience in the system.
Wisconsin has already added Shamar Rigby from Oklahoma State, a size-and-traits option who fits the perimeter mold. Domingeaux gives the room a little something different. He brings proven production at a lower level, touchdown output, and the ability to shoulder volume when needed.
This isn’t just about stacking bodies, although they need to.
Under offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes, Wisconsin wants to be efficient, physical, and opportunistic in the passing game, especially off play-action. Domingeaux’s ability to win on the outside, finish plays in the red zone, and hold up physically helps fit that blueprint. He’s not being brought in just to provide depth. He’s expected to contribute right away.
For Wisconsin, this is about stabilizing a thin room and giving the offense a receiver who has already shown he can handle responsibility. For Domingeaux, it’s a chance to take a productive FCS career and test it against Big Ten competition in a system that needs a few reliable options.
With more work still ahead, Wisconsin is clearly prioritizing players with size and impressive physical tools who can step in and contribute immediately as Jordan Reid’s broader overhaul continues to take shape.
