Wilkins to Wisconsin: Ole Miss OL Joins Big Ten
8 Jan
Summary
- PJ Wilkins, an offensive lineman, transferred from Ole Miss to Wisconsin.
- Wilkins previously played two seasons for Charlotte and one for Ole Miss.
- Quarterback Austin Simmons also entered the transfer portal from Ole Miss.
Ole Miss offensive lineman PJ Wilkins has committed to the Wisconsin Badgers, signing the necessary paperwork to join the Big Ten program. Wilkins arrived in Mississippi in January 2025 after a two-season stint with Charlotte, where he was a key player on their offensive line.
The transfer follows a pattern for Ole Miss, with quarterback Austin Simmons also entering the portal and reportedly signing with the Missouri Tigers. Simmons, who began the 2025 season as Ole Miss's starter, suffered an ankle injury early in the season.
Wilkins, a 6-foot-5, 340-pound prospect from Georgia, will seek his third collegiate program with two years of eligibility remaining. Simmons logged 744 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions in six games for Ole Miss before his injury.
