Wisconsin backup QB tweets intentions to leave the Badgers program
The Wisconsin Badgers will be on the look for a new backup quarterback ahead of the 2018 season, as backup QB Karé Lyles announced he would transfer from the program.
Lyles is a rising redshirt sophomore, having taken a redshirt in 2016. He did not see any action in 2017.
As you can see below, Lyles announced his decision to leave Wisconsin via Twitter late on Friday night:
Thank you UW for the memories, but it’s time to focus on a new chapter and a new beginning. The best is yet to come! Just a kid with a dream, and I didn’t come this far just to come this far. It’s time to work!

Lyles was a 3-star prospect out of high school, and the Arizona native was a member of the Badgers’ 2016 recruiting class.
Whether he heads back closer to home or tries to play somewhere else remains to be seen, but the Badgers will need a new backup for starter Alex Hornibrook.
