The Wisconsin Badgers held their first day of spring ball on Saturday, marking the first time that media watched a practice conducted by new head coach Luke Fickell, which consisted of high tempo and a lot of rotations.

Of course, the spotlight was on the new-look quarterback room, as SMU transfer Tanner Mordecai took all of the first-team reps, while Mississippi State transfer Braedyn Locke earned a majority of the second-team reps.

Performance-wise, it wasn't the strongest day for the quarterbacks, as there were several misses from close range, including an interception from Mordecai by cornerback Ricardo Hallman, but nonetheless, head coach Luke Fickell was proud of the performances from his top signal-callers on Saturday.
