Trech Kekahuna News, Rumors, Updates - Wisconsin Badgers | FOX Sports

Returning to Wisconsin Kekahuna will return to Wisconsin after previously announcing he'd enter the transfer portal, Jesse Temple of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kekahuna is sticking around with the Badgers after initially intending to transfer out of the program. The freshman recorded 25 catches for 339 yards and two scores across 12 games in 2024, and he figures to play a big role on offense for Wisconsin in 2025.

Entering portal Kekahuna is entering the transfer portal, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Impact With the Wisconsin Badgers eliminated from bowl contention in 2024, Kekahuna can get a head start in attracting suits for his 2025 season. The redshirt freshman broke out during 2024, his first year with triple-digit receiving yards and multiple touchdowns.

Catches six passes in defeat Kekahuna tallied six receptions (on 10 targets) for 64 yards during Friday's 24-7 defeat against Minnesota.

Impact Kekahuna led the Badgers in receptions, targets and receiving yards Week 14. The redshirt freshman once again filled in for the absence of starting slot receiver Will Pauling (undisclosed), who missed his second game in a row. This production ultimately came in vain, as the Badgers were eliminated from postseason competition with their seventh loss of the season. Kekahuna finished the 2024 campaign with 25 catches (on 49 targets) for 339 yards and two touchdowns.

Grabs four passes in blowout win Kekahuna accrued four receptions (on five targets) for 39 yards during Saturday's 42-7 victory against Rutgers.

Impact Kekahuna came back down to earth after his massive outing against Purdue last week. But, he still prominently figured into the passing game. The redshirt freshman finished with the Badgers' second-most targets behind starting slot receiver Will Pauling, who exited with an upper-body late in the first half. With Pauling sidelined for the rest of the game, Kekahuna clearly stepped up in his absence, and he should do the same once again if Pauling remains sidelined during next week's road game at Northwestern.

Explodes in second half Saturday Kekahuna logged six receptions (on eight targets) for 134 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 52-6 victory over Purdue.

Impact Kekahuna broke out with by far the best outing of his career while facing the Boilermakers' dreadful defense. The redshirt freshman first scored early in the third quarter when he caught an intermediate pass over the middle of the field before breaking away for a 69-yard touchdown. The 5-foot-10 speedster flashed his playmaking ability again when he ran and out-and-up for a 25-yard touchdown on Wisconsin's next offensive series. Kekahuna has had a very quiet start to the year since flashing in last year's bowl win against LSU. But, he seemed to take on a bigger role Week 6 after starting slot receiver Will Pauling briefly exited with a lower-body injury in the first half. Assuming Pauling is fully healthy, it will be worth monitoring if Kekahuna sees the same target share during this coming Saturday's road game at Rutgers.

Catches three passes Friday Kekahuna gathered in all three targets for 34 yards during Friday's 28-14 win against Western Michigan.

Impact Kekahuna was one of the star performers during the Badgers' offseason practices, and he built upon this growing reputation in the season opener. The 5-foot-11 speedster finished third on the team in catches behind returning starters Will Pauling (six) and Bryson Green (four). Kekhauna's three targets were also the third-most among the team's wideouts Friday, and he handled kickoff-return duties versus the Broncos. The redshirt sophomore is still behind his fellow slot receiver Pauling in Wisconsin's depth chart. But, Kekahuna's workload could increase as the team seeks to create more explosive plays moving forward. It will be worth monitoring how many targets he gets next Saturday versus South Dakota.
