Wisconsin football extended an offer to BYU transfer wide receiver Keelan Marion on Sunday.
Marion is in the portal after two seasons with the Cougars. That stint followed three campaigns at UConn, which he originally joined as a three-star recruit in the class of 2020. Since reentering the portal, the wide receiver has also shared offers from SMU, Miami, Arizona State, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Florida State, Baylor, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, Colorado and Syracuse.
The Lawrenceville, Georgia, native began his college career with a stellar 28-catch, 474-yard (team-high), five-touchdown (team-high) redshirt freshman season at UConn in 2021. He then missed most of the 2022 season with a broken collarbone, finishing with just four receptions, 89 yards and one score. Marion entered the portal after the 2022 campaign.
After initially committing to East Carolina during the 2023 spring window, the veteran receiver walked back that pledge and eventually transferred to BYU.
Marion went on to have two extremely productive seasons with the Cougars. His 2023 campaign included 20 receptions, 216 receiving yards, nine carries, 40 rushing yards and three rushing scores. He was also the team’s starting kick-returner, with 393 total return yards on 19 attempts. 2024 then became a career-best season, as he tallied 24 catches, 346 receiving yards, 21 carries, 96 rushing yards and three total touchdowns on offense, plus 18 kickoff returns, 472 return yards and a Football Bowl Subdivision-best 26.2 yards per return and two return touchdowns on special teams.
The 6-foot, 195-pound wide receiver is in the portal with a final season of eligibility remaining. All indications are that he’s a popular prospect at this late stage of the offseason.
