Wisconsin transfer portal target DL Khurtiss Perry committed to Virginia Tech on Tuesday.
The Badgers paid the former Alabama defensive end a visit just two days ago. But it appears they have not reached that stage as Perry has already decided on the transfer’s fate.

The defensive lineman is not currently classified as a transfer by 247Sports. But he was one of the best players in the 2022 class, ranked as the No. 54 player in the class, the No. 10 defensive lineman and the No. 2 recruit in the state of Alabama.
Perry originally entered the transfer portal in late April after two years at Alabama. He redshirted as a freshman in 2022, then appeared in just one game in 2023 for the top-ranked Tide.
He joins a Virginia Tech program that is on the rise under head coach Brent Pry. Their first year was a rough one at 3-8, but a 7-6 campaign in 2023 has many looking to 2024 as a breakthrough year for the program.
Wisconsin, meanwhile, is still a transfer finalist for defensive linemen Jay’Viar Suggs and Gavin Meyer. The program has been looking for help at the position since the start of the spring transfer window, needing to bolster a position that is currently very tenuous heading into 2024.
