Wisconsin WR takes parting shot at staff before entering transfer portal
The mass exodus for the Wisconsin Badgers football program is becoming quite concerning. What’s going on in Madison for head coach Luke Fickell? That’s what countless fans out there would like to know, as double-digit players have announced their intentions to transfer.
One of the latest playmakers to do so was wideout Trech Kekahuna, which caught a lot of people off guard. It was a down year for the offense as a whole, which led to offensive coordinator Phil Longo being fired by Fickell after the 16-13 loss to Oregon.
Kekahuna is now looking for a new place to call home, one that will allow him to showcase his abilities. In head-turning fashion, Kekahuna told Badger Blitz’s Benjamin Worgull that he felt ‘underappreciated’ by the staff this season and that he ‘didn’t like how things were going’ with the program. Whoa.

It’s clear that Kekahuna wanted to be more involved in the aerial attack, but as soon as Tyler Van Dyke went down with his torn ACL, things went south offensively for this team as a whole. Longo didn’t help things out with his brutal play-calling, which led to his in-season dismissal.
On the year, Kekahuna posted 25 receptions for 339 yards and two touchdowns. He had a breakout game against Purdue, showcasing his monster potential with six grabs for 134 yards and two touchdowns. It was great to see out of the 5-10, 185-pound wideout.
After that, though, Kekahuna was pretty quiet on Saturdays, including one-reception games against Northwestern and Oregon, respectively. In the season-finale to Minnesota, he finished with six receptions for 64 yards.
It’s fully unknown who Wisconsin’s QB1 will be next season and the same can be said for the team’s OC. What we do know, however, is that Kekahuna has played his last down for Fickell. Things didn’t go to plan for him with the Big Ten side, which is disappointing, especially after how special he looked against the Boilermakers.
BRILLION (WLUK) — Ariens Nordic Center announced it hired Northeast Wisconsin Olympian Paul Schommer as an employee.

Ariens says in his new role, Schommer will play a part in developing and supporting programming at the Nordic Center. Though his expertises are biathlon and Nordic skiing, Schommer will work with youth of all ages on many outdoor sports and recreational activities.
“We are thrilled to officially welcome Paul to the Ariens Nordic Center team,” said Sr. Director of Ariens Nordic Center Monica Ariens. “His Olympic experience, passion for outdoor sports, and commitment to youth in our community will make him an incredible asset.
