The veteran is the second key member of Wisconsin’s defensive line to enter the portal, joining Curt Neal. Those two and Trech Kekahuna are the three members of the team’s two-deep who have elected to finish their collegiate careers elsewhere.

Trech Kekahuna, a former 4-star receiver from Las Vegas, Nevada (Bishop Gorman) has entered the transfer portal, according to Pete Thamel of ESPN. Kekahuna will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Neal becomes the second defensive starter to declare he’ll enter the transfer portal, joining outside linebacker Leon Lowery.

The redshirt junior came to the Badgers after transferring from Division II Lake Eerie College. The six-foot-two-inch Columbus, Ohio native is the younger brother of former Wisconsin football defensive end Isaiah Mullens. The younger Mullens did not see any game action during his two seasons with the Badgers.

Wisconsin top veteran defensive lineman Curtis Neal announced his intention to enter the transfer portal on Tuesday morning.
