22 Jun
Summary
- New transfer class and coaches signal major changes for Wisconsin football.
- Several lesser-known offensive players could make significant impacts.
- Key 'sleepers' identified at quarterback, running back, receiver, and more.
Wisconsin football enters a critical season with a revamped roster featuring over 30 transfer signees and new position coaches. While top recruits draw attention, several offensive 'sleepers' are positioned to emerge as key contributors. At quarterback, Louisville transfer Deuce Adams offers mobility and arm talent, potentially stepping up if injuries occur.
In the backfield, explosive back Darrion Dupree is expected to be the RB2 behind Iowa State transfer Abu Sama, bringing high-end explosiveness and pass-catching ability. Wide receiver Shamar Rigby, a 6-foot-4 transfer, is noted for his frame and hands, despite not yet consistently performing at a high level.
Tight end Emmett Bork, though potentially TE3 or TE4, has drawn significant praise for his physicality and potential as a receiver. On the offensive line, Florida State transfer Lucas Simmons-Johansson possesses an excellent frame for tackle and may earn playing time due to his potential or unforeseen circumstances. These players represent intriguing options for the Badgers' offensive unit.
