Wisconsin football 2024 projected depth chart: Who will take over at Quarterback?
Wisconsin's offense is going to have a different look this season without star running back Braelon Allen and quarterback Tanner Mordecai. Luckily for the Badgers, head coach Luke Fickell hit the transfer portal and brought in talent to replace the losses.
In his first season at Wisconsin and in a power conference, Wisconsin went 7-6 with a loss in the ReliaQuest Bowl to LSU. Now with recruits and transfers that Fickell brought in, he can start to build the team the way he wants to, the way he did at Cincinnati. Fickell knows how to bring pieces together that may not be the highest rated, but can work well together.
Now that spring football is over and the spring portal window is closed, it is time to look at what the depth chart will look like for the 2024 season. This is a projected depth chart and changes can still be made before the season starts.
