Myles Burkett came to the Badgers as a 3-star local recruit from Franklin, Wisconsin. He was the 2021 Wisconsin AP and Gatorade Player of the Year as a senior in high school. He won it the year after Hunter Wohler won it in 2020. As a true freshman, he saw action in two games. In 2023, more transfers came in, and he decided to transfer to Albany.
After a year in Albany, Burkett transferred again to Eastern Kentucky, and they just posted on their social media that he would be their guy for this coming season: QB1.
