Anthony, Wisconsin’s No. 1 receiver the past two seasons, had a down year […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have put quite a few offensive linemen into the NFL over the years. One of them, Jacksonville Jaguars tackle Cole Van Lanen, got a huge extension on Friday, getting a three-year, $51 million deal in his first year as a starter. Van Lanen has turned into one of the better success stories […]
The Wisconsin Badgers got a late commitment from former Iowa State Cyclones wide receiver commit Kash Brock earlier this week, adding another skill position player to their smaller 2026 recruiting class.

The transfer portal is officially open, and the Wisconsin Badgers have a good group of visitors coming in over the weekend and next week. Among that group? Old Dominion transfer quarterback Colton Joseph, who will take a visit to Wisconsin starting on Friday. Joseph, a redshirt sophomore this past season, broke out for Old Dominion […]
As the transfer portal opened on Friday morning, two Wisconsin Badgers defensive linemen entered their names in and will head elsewhere for 2026. Sophomore Jamel Howard and freshman Ernest Willor Jr. are both entering the transfer portal after spending the last three and two seasons with the Badgers, respectively. Howard, a prized recruit for Wisconsin […]

Everett had been at Minnesota for one season as their running backs coach, coming over after helping coach running backs at Michigan as an analyst in 2024. Prior […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have been quite an active team in the transfer portal since head coach Luke Fickell arrived, seeing a ton of players both enter and exit the program over the last three years. Unfortunately, those additions haven’t directly correlated to wins, mainly due to struggles on the offensive side of the ball at […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have had a lot of transfer portal attrition during the Luke Fickell era, seeing a number of players head elsewhere for better opportunities. Among those players is former tight end Riley Nowakowski, who transferred to the Indiana Hoosiers this offseason for his final year of eligibility. Nowakowski had been in the tight […]
The Wisconsin Badgers concluded 2025 with an 80-60 win over the Milwaukee Panthers on Tuesday night. The Badgers got things started on defense by holding a fatigued Panthers team that played on Monday to two points through the first nine minutes of the game.

The Wisconsin Badgers were initially expected to redshirt in-state four-star freshman Zach Kinziger, who had a ton of players ahead of him in the guard rotation.

Well, that happened fast. The Wisconsin Badgers went from a popular dark horse Big Ten title contender to an “outside looking in” on every major Bracketology in the span of a few weeks earlier in December. So, it’s high time to do an updated Best/Worst/Most Likely Scenario for the squad heading into conference play. Best Case Here, Wisconsin puts […]
With 2026 fast approaching, I looked at several Wisconsin Badgers sports squads and came up with a resolution that makes sense for each of them. (Sorry, “Winning a Natty” is a bit too on the nose for this exercise.) Here’s to a robust early Happy New Year to Badgers everywhere, and to big things in 2026 for all […]
