New Badgers QB Colton Joseph Getting More Comfortable Being at Wisconsin's Center Stage
Joseph brings 2 years of eligibility and 4,251 passing yards to a Wisconsin offense that averaged 12.8 points per game last season.
- On Tuesday, transfer quarterback Colton Joseph spoke for the first time during Wisconsin's fifth spring practice, aiming to revitalize an offense that scored just 12.8 points per game last fall.
- Wisconsin has struggled to keep starting quarterbacks healthy, losing them to injury in each of the last three seasons while ranking near the bottom of the Football Bowl Subdivision in scoring offense.
- Joseph threw for 2,624 yards and rushed for 1,007 at Old Dominion last year, drawn to Wisconsin by offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes' system and quarterback Zach Wilson's success under Grimes at BYU.
- Head coach Luke Fickell observed Joseph is "becoming a little bit more loose" during practice as the team prepares for its September 6 opener against Notre Dame at Lambeau Field.
- Joseph's dual-threat ability should generate "explosive plays" for Wisconsin, though his mobile style carries injury risk; he leads 34 transfer newcomers tasked with reversing consecutive losing seasons.
