Year 3 of Fickell era.. Another transfer QB, 3rd year in a row. Welcome Billy Edward’s. Besides that still a Snow Plow, only 2 honkeys on last years Defense, looks like 5 this season

Since 2016 Wisconsin has started 14,12,12,12, 14, 16, 12,10, and Looks like 9 in 2024. In ‘25 it will be up to 12!!

OFFENSE
QB Billy Edwards RSr. 6’4 220 MD Transfer

TE Tucker Ashcroft RJr. 6’5 245

LT Davis Heinzen RSr. 6’5 310 CMU transfer. Kevin Hayward blew out his acl.

LG Joe Brunner RSo. 6’6 315

C Jake Renfro RSr. 6’4 300

RG Kerry Kodanko RSr. 6’2 305* position battle with JP Benzschawel and Emmet Mendel

RT Riley Mahlmann 6’8 320 RSr. *Best OL

Defense

NT Parker Petersen RSr. 6’3 310 TUL transfer

DT Ben Barten RSr. 6’6 320

MLB Tackett Curtis 6’2 235 RJr

MLB Christian Alliegro 6’4 240 RJr

SS Preston Zachman 6’1 210 RSr.

Backups: QB Danny O’Neill, RB Cade Yacamelli* still serving racial apprenticeship, TE JT Seagraves and Lance Mason, Snowplow OL, LB Tyler Jansey, Aaron Witt and Thomas Heiberger. Safeties Matt Jung, Matt Traynor, Owen Arnett, Charlie Jarvis and 2 true freshman tandem of Grant Dean and Luke Emmerich. Dean was a star in state RB. Both the freshman Safeties timed in 10.5-10.7 range in HS for 100 meters for our track guys on the board!! Not bad being pale faces from Wisconsin and Minnesota respectively.

Good representation on Wisconsin defense. Pale faces all over. Defensive line, LB's and secondary. Now if Yacamelli can get carries would be awesome!

New OC should mean more carries. They will also be bringing back the fullback after a two year hiatus!

YAC is a fan favorite just needs carries.

Wow, great news here. I look forward to seeing the new-look defense.
 
The QB situation is interesting. Edwards was good for the Terps last year in his first season. SDSU transfer Danny O'Neil initially comitted to Colorado before wising up and playing at SDSU as a true freshman. The potential is there for him.

Glad to see the defense bounce back. Tackett Curtis should become one of the best LBs in the Big 10.

They finally figured that global warming still hasn't turned Madison Wisconsin into Tempe Arizona and need a blocking back in late fall weather....

I was one of the few fans that wasn’t enamored with Longo’s spread. I knew as soon as they announced they were axing the FB his offense would be soft. Crap hire by Fickell, but good news it was only a 2 year hiatus on the Fullback.

Mike Tressel is on the hot seat! He wanted more beef up front on DL and he got it via transfer portal. Still worry about lack of edge pressure for this Defense. They ranked last in TFLs and sacks last year! Far cry from Jim Leonhard led Defense.

They have Dual threat Carter Smith in the room as well. Also landed QB Ryan Hopkins for next years class. 6’2 200 with 10.5 speed. Have a feeling his recruitment is going to blow up this season, with him moving to Mater Dei. Don’t feel like he will be committed long.
