ESPN College Football writer Bill Connelly unveiled his highly anticipated pre-spring SP+ rankings. In said rankings, the Wisconsin Badgers football program came in a bit higher than I expected.
The Wisconsin Badgers are coming off a disappointing first season of the Luke Fickell era, where they finished 7-6. That underwhelming on-field product spurned some notable changes this offseason.
It became clear the Badgers needed to improve depth and get more athletic on defense to fit their system better. The staff responded by reeling in a top 10 transfer portal class, per On3.
Some of the Wisconsin football transfer additions expected to make an immediate impact in 2024 are Tyler Van Dyke, Jaheim Thomas, Tackett Curtis, RJ Delancy, Leon Lowery, Elijah Hills and John Pius.
