A look at every transfer Wisconsin football has landed in the Luke Fickell era
It’s been a busy transfer portal season for new Wisconsin football staff as the Badgers attempt to rebuild the roster for 2023.
The overhaul of Wisconsin’s coaching staff led to an overhaul of the roster, including the quarterback room. New offensive coordinator Phil Longo helped reshape Wisconsin’s offensive philosophy, and with him came reinforcements at quarterback and wide receiver.
In total, the Badgers landed 13 players from the Portal, including three former four-star quarterbacks. Wisconsin also landed its highest-rated wide receiver in program history.
