Eastern Illinois has put former Cole LaCrue as the QB1 for their upcoming season. The former Wisconsin quarterback and 3-star recruit is now the second signal-caller in the last week to go from the depth chart for the Badgers to the top quarterback for a new school.

Myles Burkett is the other quarterback who moved on and was named the starting quarterback for Eastern Kentucky.

Excited for the opportunity to lead this team!! @EIU_FB @youngbucksport https://t.co/lvUwajA1jO

Cole LaCrue is now the starting quarterback for Eastern Illinois

LaCrue never got the opportunity to enter a game for the Badgers as he struggled with injuries and inexperience to start his college career.
