Luke Fickell’s hot streak in transfer portal drawing rave reviews across social media
Published:
Luke Fickell knows how to do one thing right, and that’s work the transfer portal. Wisconsin earned another transfer commitment on Tuesday from former Mississippi State QB Braedyn Locke.
Locke joins Nick Evers and Tanner Mordecai in the Wisconsin QB room. Evers came over from Oklahoma and Mordecai joined after spending the past few seasons at SMU. Mordecai brings the most experience out of that group, but all could potentially compete for the starting job next fall.
Another thing Wisconsin fans should look forward to is how much eligibility all three QBs have left. Two of them have four years left.
Fans took to social media to praise Fickell, claiming that this is one of the best QB rooms that Wisconsin has seen in quite some time. This is not including the recruits that Fickell is bringing in as well.
Here are some of the better reactions to the recent success Fickell has had in the transfer portal:

For too long and too many seasons, #Badgers have let one position hold them back.
Luke Fickell and Phil Longo ensuring that’s not happening.

Luke Fickell and Phil Longo have been in Madison for a month and already the QB room is MILES better than it ever was under Chryst. Can’t wait to see how the dinosaurs will try to spin this one into a negative!

If you’ve lost track, that is now 3 transfer quarterbacks added since Luke Fickell took over. Two of them have 4 years of eligibility. That doesn’t factor in the high school commitments. There will be no shortage of QB options for the @BadgerFootball in the near future. https://t.co/780pprDrXt

Safe to say Luke Fickell has upgraded QB room. 3 4-star QBs transfer since he’s been hired. Plus one committed for next year https://t.co/kGSLMJOtm0
