The starting quarterback for the Wisconsin Badgers for 2025 has been settled for a while. Luke Fickell announced that Billy Edwards Jr. would be the guy months ago. While there was the thought that maybe it would be a competition between the two major transfers and former starters in Edwards and Danny O'Neil, that never happened. The assumption, though, was that O'Neil would be the backup, and yet, Luke Fickell just told reporters at the end of fall camp that the competition is still wide open.
O'Neil, a former starting quarterback for the San Diego Aztecs, is in an open competition with Hunter Simmons, who transferred in from Southern Illinois.
