MADISON \u2013 Thursday was another eventful day for the Wisconsin football program.<\/p>\n

The unexpected:<\/p>\n

Wide receiver Markus Allen announced on Twitter he plans to return to UW.<\/p>\n

The expected:<\/p>\n

Center Joe Tippmann announced he plans to enter the 2023 NFL draft. Tippmann will not play in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl.<\/p>\n

Tippmann, a redshirt junior, is the only member of the offensive line to start all 12 games this season. He has started 23 games and played in 26 at UW.<\/p>\n

Tippmann’s departure means UW will be without three linemen in the bowl game. Guard Michael Furtney plans to transfer and guard Tyler Beach is preparing for the draft.<\/p>\n

Allen, a redshirt freshman, announced on Oct. 17 he planned to transfer.<\/p>\n

He committed to Minnesota on Nov. 28 but de-committed from the Gophers earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Allen withdrew his name from the transfer portal Thursday and subsequently tweeted a picture from a UW game in which he is celebrating with fellow wide receivers Skyler Bell and Keontez Lewis.<\/p>\n
