Sounds like Mabrey passed him on the depth chart. Have to think guys probably a FCS or non P5 QB at this point. New Florida coach didn't want him, was never going to play at Oklahoma and subsequently went from 2 to 3 to 4 on the depth chart.

He needs to play in a gimmicky offense at this point that'll play up to his athleticism. Somewhere like the MAC or something.

Unfortunately, the second Jackson Arnold committed to Oklahoma it was over for Nick Evers.  Really thought the kid had a future, but it wasn't going to be at a major D1 program.  Hopefully he finds a nice mid-major program to help build.

Down to 87 scholarships. So there will be 2 more departures this spring, at least. I'd assume from the RB group and maybe the CB group or OL group.

There's one. Unfortunately not coming from a group that we're super strong at...

@Packerraymond You know anything about the Dean kid we replaced Haddid with? He's from Neenah.

Nope, been out of the in-state gig for awhile. Seems like your standard pickup we've been making since Bielema days, some work some don't. 10.8 track guy though, he's got easy gas.

We just landed 2 transfer OL from the portal this week. One is Leyton Nelson from Vanderbilt who has connections, obviously, with AJ Blazek. The other is Joey Okla from Illinois, who was high school teammates at Arrowhead with Derek Jensen. Up to 88 scholarships now and 15 on the OL.

Okla is walking on.

Last years "spring game" The Badgers were 0-6 on offense with the 1-2's with 4 INT's from Mordecai.

This year they were 6-7 on TD's, no INT's from Van Dyke. Sounds like the WR's will be Green, Williams, Pauling, Kekahuna and Burroughs and they're all making plays. Longo compared Kekahuna to Josh Downs. Also sounds like Tawee Walker is fitting right into this system, he and Mellusi have a chance to be a great 1-2 punch.

Defensively Lowery, Peterson, Pius are getting way more pressure than the EDGE group from last year and the ILB's are flying around making plays. Sounds like beyond Wohler and Hollman, the secondary is one giant question for UW like it usually is. I hope we just play Moore, Snowden, Duclona, etc... and just let them take their lumps to at least have a nice secondary in 2025-2026.
