Wisconsin starting wide receiver to return for senior season

Wisconsin starting wide receiver to return for senior season

Wisconsin starting wide receiver Bryson Green confirmed to reporters after the Badgers’ 35-31 loss to LSU in the ReliaQuest Bowl that he will return to Wisconsin next season.

The former Oklahoma State wideout and college veteran has one year of eligibility remaining, though technically would’ve been eligible for the 2024 NFL Draft had that been an attractive path. Then with the current state of the transfer portal, there’s never total assurance that veteran contributors will return.

Green caught 25 passes for 375 yards and one touchdown during the regular season, then added seven catches for 105 yards and a touchdown during today’s loss to LSU. He figures to be Wisconsin’s top receiving option next season alongside standout Will Pauling. The trio of Green, Pauling and C.J. Williams project to be the top group in year two under Phil Longo.

Wisconsin saw experienced wide receivers Chimere Dike and Skyler Bell enter the portal after the regular season. Retaining Pauling and Green is big for the offense’s prospects in 2024.

Badger Countdown: Transfer wideout wearing number nine in 2023

New wideout in number nine this year

The 2023 college football season is almost here and Luke Fickell and his Badgers are now nine days away from their opener against Buffalo on Sept. 2. Amongst the many new members this year, wide receiver Bryson Green will wear number nine in his first campaign with Wisconsin.

Green transferred to Wisconsin this offseason after spending two seasons with Oklahoma State, who the Badgers coincidentally beat 24-17 in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl in December.

Over his two campaigns with the Cowboys, Green compiled a total of 48 catches for 723 yards and seven touchdowns over 23 contests.

Now in Madison, the wide receiver will be working within Phil Longo’s “Air Raid” offense while catching passes from quarterback Tanner Mordecai.

Badger Countdown: Wide receiver’s 27 touchdowns are all-time high

The 2023 college football season is fastly approaching and the Badgers are now 27 days from their season opener versus Buffalo on Sept. 2.

The 2023 college football season is fastly approaching and the Badgers are now 27 days from their season opener versus Buffalo on Sept. 2. The Luke Fickell era is almost underway in Madison and part of the hype this season is surrounding the wide receivers, but a former wideout owns the all-time touchdown record with 27.

Lee Evans was a member of the Badgers from 1999-2003, finishing his UW career with 3,468 receiving yards and 27 touchdowns on 175 catches during his college career. The yards and touchdowns are the highest in Wisconsin football history while the catches are third.

With transfers like CJ Williams (USC) and Bryson Green (Oklahoma State) coming in, maybe there will be a new star wideout in Madison this year!

As the much-anticipated 2023 Badger football season closes in, the team has seen a few departures over the last week or so and there was another one announced Friday. After two seasons with Wisconsin, wide receiver Markus Allen will be entering the transfer portal.

This is the second time that Allen has entered the transfer portal, having done so last fall following the firing of head coach Paul Chryst, ultimately returning to Madison after Luke Fickell took over.

Badger football fans use Twitter to predict team award winners for 2023

Who do Badgers fans think will stand out in 2023?

With the college football season about 100 days away, Badger football fans were prompted on Twitter to predict which players would win the team awards in 2023.

As the Luke Fickell era officially gets ushered in this season, Wisconsin will look to improve upon the 7-6 record they had in 2022. The offense in particular has generated a lot of buzz as new offensive coordinator Phil Longo takes over with his “Air Raid” scheme.

Transfer quarterback Tanner Mordecai (SMU) is expected to be under center in 2023, joining Wisconsin after two 3,000-yard, 30-touchdown with the Mustangs and he has been joined by multiple wide receivers from across the country.

In total, thanks to the coaching additions and many transfers, the Badgers are one of the most intriguing teams in college football next season.

To this point, Vines-Bright has now received seven Division 1 offers, including Michigan and home state schools Arizona and Arizona State. With the Badgers now a more offensive focused team under Phil Longo’s guidance, Wisconsin has as good a shot as any to land the wide receiver.

With additions like wideouts CJ Williams and Bryson Green in the transfer portal this season, the Badgers will have a chance to prove why they’re a good destination for offensive weapons.

New strength and conditioning coach Brady Collins redesigned the Badgers’ weight room and instilled the T-shirt system this offseason. So far, Wisconsin has posted countless high-energy videos of the team working out together.

Green in particular comes into this season as one of over a dozen transfers from other school. The wide receiver brought in 36 catches for 584 yards and five touchdowns last season with the Cowboys and is expected to be a big part of Wisconsin’s “Air Raid” offense under Phil Longo in 2023.

Wisconsin offers four-star wide receiver for class of 2025

Wisconsin offered Dorian Brew, a four-star wide receiver from Clayton, Ohio on Wednesday. The 6-foot-2 athlete is a sophomore Northmont High School and will be a member of the class of 2025 wherever he ends up.

Although he likely won’t make a decision for nearly two years, Brew has already been offered by 12 schools including five programs within the Big Ten. With the addition of CJ Williams and Bryson Green via the transfer portal this offseason, the Badgers look committed to establishing themselves as a destination for wideouts moving forward.

Considering how far out his commitment likely is, Brew could go anywhere in the country. As of right now, 247Sports sees Notre Dame as the favorite to acquire the talented wide receiver.
