2024 Wisconsin Football Superlatives
We all have memories of our senior yearbook superlatives, where awards were bestowed upon us/classmates (fairly or unfairly) for our high school body of work. “Most Likely to Succeed” was the golden goose, but others such as “Most Likely to be a Game Show Host” or “Class Clown” were also in the mix.
With this in mind, I crafted my list of Wisconsin Badgers football superlatives for the 2024 team and explored this with the incomparable Ryan Harings of Locked on Badgers.
Here are some categories that Ryan and I came up with and a few others that I awarded on my own.
I’d love to hear your picks in the comments.
Most Likely to Succeed: Tawee Walker and Will Pauling
Most Improved: Nyzier Fourqurean, Bryson Green, Jack Nelson, Jake Chaney
Most Like to Be a Comedian: Will Pauling, RJ Delancy
Best True Freshman: Xavier Lucas, Dillon Johnson, Kevin Heywood
Most Likely to be a Football Coach: Braedyn Locke, Jake Chaney
Most Likely to Run Camp Randall Steps When Nobody’s Looking: Hunter Wohler, Max Lofy, Jake Chaney
Most Likely to be President: Will Pauling, RJ Delancy, Cole LaCrue
Most Likely to Succeed in the NFL: Ricardo Hallman, Hunter Wohler, Kevin Heywood
Most Likely Really Good Team to Lose to The Badgers in 2024: Penn State
Newcomers of the Year: Jaheim Thomas, John Pius, Alex Van Dyke, Tawee Walker, AJ Blazek, EJ Whitlow
Most Likely to Put up a Big Game vs Alabama: Jaheim Thomas, Hunter Wohler
EAA AirVenture 2025 opens with aircraft of every description
EAA AirVenture 2025
USA TODAY readers voted two Wisconsin events among the nation’s best for thrills and excitement – and one got a No. 1 spot.
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh was voted the Best Air Show, ranking first on a list of 10 air shows across the country.
Oshkosh annually becomes a landing pad for around 10,000 aircraft of all shapes and sizes, in what’s considered the world’s biggest fly-in convention. In 2025, EAA had record-breaking attendance, with around 704,000 visitors. This year, the air show will be held July 20-26.
Also highlighted on the most recent USA TODAY 10BEST Readers’ Choice Awards, released Wednesday, May 6, was the Sports Car Club of America National Championship Runoffs in Elkhart Lake, which ranked sixth in the Best Motorsports Race category.
The SCCA National Championship Runoffs are an annual competition between top amateur road racers, frequently held at Road America.
The event was held annually at Road America from 2009 to 2013, then returned in 2020 and again for the 2024-2026 competitions. It also rotates to other sites across the United States. In 2027 and 2028, it will be held at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
The SCCA National Championship Runoffs will take place Sept. 28-Oct. 4.
The Best Air Show and Best Motorsports Race lists were among 10 lists in the overarching category “Thrills ‘n’ Wheels & Fishing.” Other lists include Best Boat Show, Best Car Show, Best Fishing Charter and Best Rodeo. The full list of winners can be found online at 10best.usatoday.com/awards.
To determine its lists, USA TODAY 10Best invites a panel of industry experts each week to nominate their favorite points of interest, in categories like food, drink, travel and lifestyle. Editors then vet the nominations and set aside a list of nominees to ask the public to vote on for a period of four weeks.

MADISON – When Alie Bisballe committed to the Wisconsin women’s basketball program during the summer of 2023, she had an scholarship on the table from Michigan State.
After the 6-foot-4 forward entered the transfer portal last month, the Spartans came calling again. This time she accepted their offer.
Bisballe announced her commitment to the Spartans May 5. The move puts her about two hours from her hometown of Lake City, Michigan.
She has two years of eligibility remaining.
Bisballe, who announced the news on Instagram, played in 36 games for Wisconsin in two seasons and averaged 1.3 points per game. She averaged one point and 0.8 rebounds per game this past season.
At Michigan State, she’ll joined another former Badger. Carter McCray, who played for UW in 2024-25, is transferring to Michigan State after one season at West Virginia.
Four Wisconsin players entered the portal last month. Rising senior Kyrah Daniels withdrew her name, but guard Breauna Ware signed with Wake Forest. Jovana Spasovski, a 6-0 wing with two years of eligibility remaining, has not announced a commitment.

Packers award $100K in grants to help launch girls flag football teams in Wisconsin high schools
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) – The Green Bay Packers are boosting support for girls flag football in Wisconsin high schools, awarding $100,000 in grants to help schools launch new teams.
The team said 20 schools across the state were selected to receive $5,000 each to start girls flag football programs.
Six of the grant recipients are in our area: Freedom High School, Green Bay East, Kimberly, Little Chute, Neenah and Southern Door.
Along with the funding, the Packers are also providing participating schools with protective headbands and a flag football equipment starter kit to help new programs get started.
The goal is to build momentum for girls flag football as participation grows, with the long-term aim of the sport becoming a sanctioned Wisconsin high school sport.
Applications are already open for next year’s round of grants.
