Billy Edwards Jr. came in as the handpicked quarterback for Luke Fickell's new offensive coordinator, Jeff Grimes. He was going to help Wisconsin make the most of a brutal schedule, but was injured after just a few plays in his Wisconsin jersey. He tried to come back when Wisconsin played his former team, Maryland, and then was injured again. Edwards would never play for Wisconsin again, despite reports that he could.
After he announced yesterday that he was planning to transfer and pursue a medical redshirt for this season, Wisconsin fans are ripping him for being a quitter for taking NIL money and then bailing on the team and Luke Fickell.
