Luke Fickell has high expectations for transfer quarterback
The Wisconsin Badgers football program is once again welcoming a new quarterback for their 2026 season.
The Wisconsin Badgers football program is once again welcoming a new quarterback for its 2026 season . Head coach Luke Fickell hasn't had much success at the QB position since he took over. Injuries have been a huge part of that, but now they're bringing in an Old Dominion transfer who's looked great in his last two seasons.
Colton Joseph comes to Wisconsin fresh off a season where he threw for 2,624 passing yards and added 1,007 on the ground. His dual-threat abilities should certainly help this offense get back into a groove, something they haven't been able to do these last few seasons. ESPN's Billy Tucker named Joseph the Badgers' top newcomer , and that's in line with what Fickell told Tucker when discussing the junior's abilities.
