Wisconsin has announced its team captains for the 2023 season.

The Badgers will be led by quarterback Tanner Mordecai, wide receiver Chimere Dike, linebacker Maema Njongmeta and linebacker Marty Strey.

Mordecai is entering his first season with the Badgers following a successful stint at SMU. He’s expected to have a big season under new Wisconsin offensive coordinator Phil Longo.

Mordecai threw for 7,152 yards and 72 touchdowns in 2 seasons as SMU’s quarterback. He also averaged a solid 8 yards per attempt during his time with the Mustangs.

Wisconsin’s other 3 captains are all veterans of the program. Dike is a senior who was honorable mention All-Big Ten in 2022. Njongmeta is a returning starter who is entering his redshirt senior season. Strey is entering his 6th season with the Badgers.

Wisconsin is just over 1 week away from beginning the Luke Fickell era in Madison. The Badgers have played in a bowl game at the end of every season since 2001.

The Badgers open the 2023 season against Buffalo on Sept. 2.
