Wisconsin WR Trech Kekahuna entering NCAA Transfer Portal

Wisconsin wideout Trech Kekahuna is entering the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to ESPN. He will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Kekahuna caught 25 passes for 339 yards and two touchdowns this season for Wisconsin, his second in Madison. Kekahuna played in five games in 2023, including the bowl, meaning he could still redshirt as bowl games no longer count toward the four-game limit.

Kekahuna had four receptions during his true freshman campaign in 2023.

Wisconsin’s offense struggled during both of Kekahuna’s years there, as issues with overhauling the scheme and, predominantly, quarterback injuries hamstrung the Badgers.

Wisconsin is replacing OC Phil Longo

Head coach Luke Fickell opened his press conference on Nov. 18 by discussing Phil Longo’s firing as offensive coordinator at Wisconsin. He wanted to discuss it not just since it was his first time to receive questions about it but also so that the Badgers can look to their final two games. As for the dismissal, he felt it was the right choice and right time to make it for their program.

“Alright, well, obviously, I’ll start by, you know, talking about and addressing the situation, the change that we’re going through and then hopefully we can move forward on to, you know, a big football game that’s coming up and make sure that we all get ourselves back into, you know, the task that we have at hand,” Fickell began.

“Just so you know, on Sunday, I made a decision to what we needed to do. Then, you know, came in, obviously had a conversation with Phil. And, you know, pretty much decided that we needed to do it now,” explained Fickell. “This is never something I ever, ever envisioned doing or wanted to do and especially doing it when there’s still games to be played in a season. But felt like, for all involved and, most importantly, for our program and the kids in that locker room, what we needed to do right now was to move forward.”
