Despite their slow start to the 2022 recruiting cycle, the program has landed transfer defensive end Isaac Townsend.

The Arvada, Colorado native redshirted in 2019 and didn’t appear in a game for the Ducks during the 2020 season.
He now joins a Wisconsin defensive end rotation that includes Matt Henningsen, Isaiah Mullens, Cade McDonald and T.J. Bollers.
