Former Wisconsin Badgers wide receiver Chimere Dike is in the transfer portal and according to Jacob Rudner, a beat writer for 247sports/CBS sports for the Florida Gators, Dike will be going on an official visit this weekend to Florida.
The Gators will be hosting three other players along with Dike. They are former Penn defensive lineman Joey Slackman, former PITT defensive lineman DeAndre Jules, and former Oregon defensive back Trikweze Bridges.
Dike is 6’1″ and weighs 200 lbs. Last season with the Wisconsin Badgers, he caught 19 passes for 328 yards receiving and one touchdown. Chimere Dyke averaged 17.3 yards per reception. Dike was the third-leading receiver on the Badgers during the regular season.
The two wide receivers on the roster who had better stats than him were Will Pauling and Bryson Green. Pauling had 66 receptions for 694 yards receiving and four touchdowns. He averaged 10.5 yards per reception. Green caught 25 passes for 375 yards receiving and one touchdown. He averaged 15.0 yards per catch.
Pauling is only a sophomore and Green is a junior. They both outperformed Chimere Dike this season as a senior and he will have one year of eligibility remaining after playing for Luke Fickell this season.
Former Wisconsin Badgers Wide Receiver Chimere Dike Visiting the Florida Gators Is Interesting Because Former Wisconsin Quarterback Graham Mertz Is There
Maybe it is possible that Chimere Dike wants to reunite with Graham Mertz for next season and play for the Gators. There could be other suitors for Dike after leaving the Wisconsin Badgers football program. Wisconsin finished with a 7-5 record this season and Florida finished with a 5-7 record this season in college football. Will see how the visit goes for him this weekend and it will be interesting to see whether or not Dike will play for Billy Napier in 2024 or not.
