Why quarterbacks are attracted to Badgers OC Phil Longo’s scheme

The Wisconsin Badgers have been on a roll since the hiring of new head coach Luke Fickell, bringing in key players on both sides of the ball, as well as a number of intriguing coaching hires.

A part of the intrigue? The hire of offensive coordinator Phil Longo, who has been known for running his version of the “Air Raid” system, which shies away from the traditional Wisconsin offense.

The hiring of Longo has resulted in three new additions to the quarterback position, as Wisconsin landed transfer quarterbacks Tanner Mordecai and Nick Evers, while securing the commitment of 2024 four-star Mabrey Mettauer.
