Wisconsin HC Luke Fickell on QB Tanner Mordecai: “He’s done a phenomenal job”
The Wisconsin Badgers have been all around the information headlines on this school soccer offseason, primarily as a result of hiring of head coach Luke Fickell from Cincinnati.
And this offseason has in all probability been probably the most thrilling in years for Badgers followers too.
Following the departure of three-year beginning quarterback Graham Mertz, the quarterback place has been a serious matter.
Had been the Badgers going to usher in a switch or was it Myles Burkett’s flip to take over the reins?
Not solely did head coach Luke Fickell herald a veteran QB, however he introduced within the Davey O’Brien semi-finalist, Tanner Mordecai, to be the brand new starter at Wisconsin.
Not solely has Mordecai given Badger followers recollections of when Russell Wilson transferred from NC State, however head coach Luke Fickell has been impressed as nicely.
“Tanner, particularly, he’s completed an exceptional job. He has been every little thing that I’d hope for. That means within the sense that he got here in, type of saved his mouth shut, went to work, and proved lots of issues.”
Mordecai, the incoming senior from SMU, has drawn a lot consideration within the offseason so far.
He has already been named as a possible Heisman candidate this season and is a serious motive why the Badgers now have one of many strongest QB rooms within the Large Ten.
Nevertheless, transferring into a serious Large Ten program might not at all times be the best transition.
However Fickell remained constructive about the kind of particular person Mordecai has confirmed himself to be throughout the workforce.
“I believe he’s embraced the distinctive cultures and the fellows in that locker room and hasn’t walked in and anticipated to be handed something. He’s simply completed it in a very humble means with an unimaginable work ethic.”
With three highly-rated quarterbacks transferring in and the addition of OC Phil Longo, the Badgers had been capable of entice a great deal of WR expertise as nicely.
It is going to be thrilling to observe Mordecai and the remainder of this revamped offense in spring ball all through April, and hopefully, a brand new face at QB will present a lift to a just lately struggling offense.

Wisconsin football alums disgusted with ‘sad state of affairs’ of Badgers program after loss to Minnesota
Wisconsin’s Luke Fickell struggling to understand team’s inconsistency
The Badgers football coach met with reporters following a 44-25 loss to Nebraska at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Wisconsin football’s season is sunk.
And it’s a program that’s facing uncharted waters after Friday’s dreadful showing in its 24-7 loss to Minnesota in the regular-season finale.
No bowl game. A losing season. Questions about the coaching staff. Questions about the roster.
The season has actually been sinking for some time, but the Badgers still had a chance to salvage whatever was left of it with a win over Minnesota.
It was a rivalry game. It was at home. And it was for a chance to play in a bowl game, something that every Wisconsin team has played in for the last 22 years.
Instead, the Badgers lost for the fifth straight time behind an offense that is no longer recognizable to players from the past. Wisconsin also suffered its third consecutive defeat at Camp Randall Stadium and fourth this season.
Former Wisconsin football players have been following the season closely and speaking out in disgust on social media as the losses have piled up. Like the fans at Camp Randall Stadium on Friday, they again let their feelings be known about the direction of the program as Wisconsin finished the 2024 season 5-7.
Here’s a sample of the reactions from the likes of Brian Calhoun, Braelon Allen, Sojourn Shelton and others:

Menomonie, Wis. — A murky day for turkey day. In this part of western Wisconsin, “murky” is an understatement.
A narrow band of snow quickly dropped three inches on drivers — even sending a semi sliding into a ditch.
The National Weather Service says it’s likely because of a glass manufacturing company near Menomonie.
“That steam rises into the deck of clouds that are above it, and the steam acts as little particles that the water droplets can latch onto and create snow crystals” said Meteorologist Caleb Grunzke of the National Weather Service. “Everything came together perfectly for several inches of snow and major traffic problems.”
The Wisconsin State Patrol reported 16 crashes in a 5 hour span, including a six-car pile-up.
“We kind of drove in and out of the snow very dramatically” said Dave Erickson, who was making the trip back to the Twin Cities from Milwaukee.
“Drive safe, happy Thanksgiving” Erickson added.
