The 2024 college football season is officially here and the Wisconsin Badgers will begin their season at Camp Randall Stadium on Friday night against Western Michigan. Miami transfer Tyler Van Dyke will be the Badgers’ starting quarterback
Former Badgers quarterback Nick Evers, who was once considered a viable option for the team’s starting role in 2024, was named UConn’s starting QB for Week 1 earlier this week.
Evers transferred to Wisconsin ahead of the 2023 season after beginning his career at Oklahoma as a four-star recruit in 2022. Evers was buried on the depth chart behind Tanner Mordecai and Braedyn Locke last season, failing to appear in a game with the Badgers.
After entering spring camp as the team’s third option behind Van Dyke and Locke, Evers decided to enter the transfer portal and ultimately ended up with the Huskies.
He joined 2023 teammate wide receiver Skyler Bell in transferring to UConn. He’s also the second quarterback to depart Madison and earn starting job in 2024, as Myles Burkett did the same at Albany.
Coach Jim Mora has his guy!
