Wisconsin transfer receiver Mark Hamper has visits set to New Mexico, Arizona State and Cal, according to 247Sports’ Chris Hummer. Those trips are set for April 22-24 — Tuesday through Thursday of this week.
Hamper is back in the portal after joining the Badgers during the winter window. He previously entered after a breakout redshirt freshman season at Idaho, finishing with 48 receptions, 966 receiving yards and six touchdowns. That output earned the wideout Football Championship Subdivision Freshman All-American honors and made him an attractive transfer prospect.
Hamper was one of Wisconsin’s two wide receiver additions during the winter window, along with Ohio State’s Jayden Ballard. Reports from spring practice point to Ballard as a standout option on the outside across from returning starter Vinny Anthony. Given the timing of Hamper’s move, it’s reasonable to infer the two were directly competing for those starting snaps.
247Sports now lists the 6-foot-1 wide receiver as a three-star transfer, ranked as the No. 215 overall player in the portal and No. 40 at his position. As of April 23, he is the fifth-highest-ranked uncommitted transfer wideout.
Hamper is receiving major conference interest, with visits to the Big 12’s Arizona State and Cal. He also has a notable connection to the apparent third top contender, New Mexico: the Lobos hired former Idaho coach Jason Eck in December, who coached Hamper during his first two collegiate seasons.
Hamper is one of five Wisconsin players to transfer out this spring, along with tight end Tanner Koziol (committed to Houston), offensive lineman Derek Jensen (committed to Iowa State), long snapper Eli Stein and wide receiver Quincy Burroughs. He, Koziol and Stein just recently joined the program as winter transfer additions.
