From the Transfer Portal, Mario Cristobal went through a battle to land Wisconsin cornerback Xavier Lucas; signing him might help the Hurricanes make the College Football Playoff. Lucas, along with Tamarcus Cooley heading to LSU, are two of a few big-time defensive transfers that will make immediate impacts.
