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