MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin cornerback
“My coaches, teammates and I waited and waited, and still nothing from the judge since,” Fourqurean said.
Fourqurean made the announcement one day before Wisconsin (3-7, 1-6 Big Ten) faces Illinois (7-3, 4-3, No. 21 College Football Playoff ) in the Badgers’ home finale. Wisconsin closes its season Nov. 29 at Minnesota (6-4, 4-3).
Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell said last month that the lack of a ruling on the matter was “unacceptable.” Fickell added that “to see what has happened to Nyzier is a shame.”
Fourqurean enrolled at Grand Valley State in 2020, when the pandemic canceled the season. He played at Grand Valley State in 2021 and 2022 before transferring to Wisconsin in 2023. Fourqurean played at Wisconsin from 2023-24 and has been seeking one more year of eligibility.
He started all 12 games for Wisconsin last season and collected 51 tackles with one interception. He started five of the Badgers’ last six games in 2023.
“I am thankful for Coach Fickell and all of UW for sticking with me and making me as much of a member of the team as they could,” Fourqurean said in his X post. “I have been able to practice and be around the team as normal and have improved tremendously over the year. With huge goals for myself and this team, I am super disappointed to not be able to make a positive impact for our team on the field. I look forward to my pro day and an opportunity with an NFL team.”
