Ex-Wisconsin DB Lucas says he is transferring to Miami despite name never being entered into portal

Xavier Lucas, a former Wisconsin cornerback, is transferring to Miami despite Wisconsin not entering his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to his lawyer, Darren Heitner.
Lucas's transfer follows his announcement in December that he intended to enter the portal, hindered by Wisconsin's refusal to comply.
The NCAA stated that rules do not prevent a student-athlete from unenrolling and enrolling at a new institution immediately.
Lucas had an impressive freshman season with Wisconsin, recording 12 tackles, an interception, and a sack, while maintaining a high defensive grade.
