Defensive back Xavier Lucas made headlines this week when he withdrew from Wisconsin's program following his freshman season. Lucas committed to the Miami Hurricanes on Friday, thus leaving one program and entering another without using the transfer portal.

Wisconsin football is attempting to prevent Xavier Lucas from landing at Miami. Details emerge on a tampering accusation.

News of his move came on Friday. Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger was the first to report that Lucas was leaving for Miami without officially entering the transfer portal. Wisconsin had held the standout freshman cornerback out of the portal after he “signed a two-year revenue-share agreement” in early December, per Dellenger.
