2024 Badger Football Thread

Someone on another board posted this. Here's how the people who transferred out last year did:

QB - Nick Evers - UConn = 8 games, 97/179, 54.2% completion percentage, 918 passing yards, 5 TD, 5 INT, 234 rushing yards, 3.0 average, 3 rushing TDs (other QB on roster had 183 pass attempts, so looks like a 50/50 split in playing time)
QB - Myles Burkett - Albany = 145/265, 54.7% completion percentage, 1845 passing yards, 10 TD, 7 INT, 129 rushing yards, 1.7 average, 0 rushing TDs
WR - Chimere Dike - Florida = 36 catches, 687 yards, 19.1 average, 2 touchdowns
WR - Keontez Lewis - Southern Illinois = 49 catches, 813 yards, 16.6 average, 5 touchdowns
WR - Skyler Bell - UConn = 47 catches, 783 yards, 16.7 average, 4 touchdowns
WR - Tommy McIntosh - Central Michigan = 9 games, 2 catches, 15 yards
OL - Nolan Rucci - Penn State = Appeared in all 12 games, only started 2
OL - Trey Wedig - Indiana = Started 11 games at right tackle
OL - Dylan Barrett - Iowa State = Started 8 games at right guard and then got hurt

DE - Darian Varner - Cincinnati = 12 games, 11 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, 1 fumble recovery
DL - Rodas Johnson - Texas A&M = 12 games, 10 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1 sack
DT - Gio Paez - LSU = 12 games, 19 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 1 pass breakup
DL - TJ Bollers - California = 12 games, 22 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, 2 pass breakups
DE - Jordan Meyer - Penn State = 11 games, 2 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks
EDGE - Kaden Johnson - Nevada = 8 games, 17 tackles, 0.5 tackle for loss, 1 pass breakup
DL - Mike Jarvis - Liberty = 10 games, 3 tackles, 0.5 tackle for loss, 1 pass breakup
LB - Jordan Turner - Michigan State = 12 games, 66 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 2 interceptions, 1 pass breakup (tackles and tackles for loss were team highs, sacks ranked 2nd on team)
LB - Aidan Vaughan - Liberty = 11 games, 16 tackles, 1 pass breakup
LB - Ross Gengler - Wisconsin-La Crosse = 12 games, 38 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, 2 forced fumbles
DB - AJ Tisdell - Incarnate Ward = 12 games, 45 tackles, 1 interception, 7 pass breakups
DB - Amaun Williams - Concordia = ???
CB - Michael Mack - Ohio = 12 games, 12 tackles, 1 tackle for loss

So really, nobody did anything significant at a P4 school except for Dike and Turner. Wedig didn't make all-conference, not even honorable mention. Barrett wasn't going to start over Huber. Maybe Turner would have helped at ILB, but he may have been on strike 2 for his legal/driving issues. FWIW, UCONN's strength of schedule was 121st in FBS.
 
Ohio State LB transfer Gabe Powers has visits set with Wisconsin, Minnesota and Kansas State.

So only 2 Badgers drafted and both in the 7th round. Shows you how bad this program has slipped.

Consider Mertz and Dike should have been Badgers, both were run off by a clueless fanbase. Mertz proved them wrong playing SEC FB at a high level and getting drafted. Both were misused at UW. The Fick crowd tends to forget the mess left by PC and company.

Will give that Mertz was left in the old the QB just hands the ball off offense and PC never opened up the passing game for him.
 
I'm glad Mertz got drafted.

I have no personal knowledge, but I didn't read anything bad about him at WI or FL. At both, i was under the impression he showed up, was a great teammate, and tried hard.

Lots of reasons, but It just didn't work out for him at WI. And, we'll always have opening day against IL.
