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

Curt Neal's departure is the fifth for a Badgers defensive player since the team's season-ending loss to Minnesota last week.

The Badgers will need to replace a starter on the defensive front. Here's what it means and the impact they're losing.

In the span of about 10 minutes Monday, one defensive back announced his departure from the Wisconsin football team and another announced his commitment to join it. At this time of year, players come and go.

Wisconsin top underclassman cornerback Jonas Duclona announced his intention to enter the transfer portal on Monday. Duclona is now the fourth Badger set to enter, joining QB Cole LaCrue, OLB Leon Lowery and CB Amare Snowden.
