Markus Allen announces his intention to enter NCAA Transfer Portal

The Wisconsin Badgers are losing one of their top young receivers as Markus Allen announced his decision to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal. Allen joined the Badgers as a three-star prospect according to the On3 Consensus Player Rankings — and appeared in eight games over the last year and a half.

Allen revealed his decision via an image with his goodbye message to Wisconsin, captioned with the word “love.” Although Allen did not give a reason for his departure, he did directly thank former head coach Paul Chryst for giving him an opportunity with the program.

“First want to thank everyone in the Wisconsin Football program for everything they’ve done up to this point. For helping me academically and athletically from the strength staff all the way down to the trainers. Truly love the bonds I’ve made with great people and the memories with brothers. Thank you Coach Chryst and the Coaching Staff for giving me an opportunity at the University of Wisconsin. With that being said I would like to announce that I officially have entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. With 3 years remaining of NCAA Eligibility.”

Allen finishes his career as a Badger with just ten receptions for 156 yards and a touchdown.
