The college football season is around the corner and the Badgers are now 59 days away from their 2023 opener Sept. 2 against Buffalo at home. With new quarterback Tanner Mordecai (SMU) exciting fans this year, Wisconsin’s all-time leading touchdown passer is worth mentioning.

Darrell Bevell was with the Badgers from 1992-1996, passing for 59 total touchdowns in his time in Madison. Now almost 30 years later, he still holds the record for most TD passes in Wisconsin football history, sitting 11 ahead of Joel Stave (2012-2015).

Bevell helped lead the Badgers to their first Rose Bowl victory in 1994, defeating UCLA 21-16, cementing himself as an all-time Wisconsin football legend.

He went on to undrafted in the 1996 NFL Draft, but he’s gone on to have a 15-year coaching career in the league.
