WISCONSIN BADGERS NEWS

C.J. Williams - Listed as co-starter Williams is listed as a co-starter for Wisconsin's game Friday against Western Michigan, Jesse Temple of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williams and Vinny Anthony II are listed as co-starting wideouts alongside certified starters Will Pauling and Bryson Green. Williams' 2023 season included his first year with more than 100 receiving yards, something that should be much easier to accomplish if he lands a starting role.

Braedyn Locke - Backup to start season Locke will be the backup to quarterback Tyler Van Dyke to start the 2024 season, Rohan Chakravarthi of Bucky's 5th Quarter reports.

Impact The 6-foot sophomore was battling it out with Van Dyke all the way up until the end of July, but it was evident in Sunday's scrimmage that Van Dyke would get the edge and ultimately become the starter. Locke saw the field in five games during the 2023 season and proved with 777 yards passing, five touchdowns and one interception that he could still assume the position under center especially with the volatile nature of the Wisconsin quarterback position in the recent years.

Tyler Van Dyke - Officially named starter Wisconsin's offensive coordinator Phil Longo named Van Dyke the starting quarterback for the Badgers, Rohan Chakravarthi of Bucky's 5th Quarter reports.

Impact This decision doesn't as too much of a surprise considering Van Dyke took all of Wisconsin's first-team reps in this past Sunday's scrimmage. The 6-foot-4 senior finished out the 2023 season with 2,703 passing yards with 19 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, now starting under center for a Badger team who have had instability at the quarterback position in the recent years.

Braedyn Locke - No first-team reps Sunday Locke handled no first-team reps Sunday, Zach Heilprin of 1670AM The Zone Madison reports.

Impact All of Wisconsin's first-team reps were handled by Tyler Van Dyke, who is expected to be UW's primary quarterback to begin 2024. Locke getting dropped was expected more than not, especially considering Van Dyke's experience and offseason output. For a second straight year, Locke will back up another QB, and it could be tougher for him to replicate his 2023 output unless Van Dyke physically struggles or becomes unavailable.

Tyler Van Dyke - Handles all first-team reps Sunday Van Dyke handled Wisconsin's first-team reps Sunday, Zach Heilprin of 1670AM The Zone Madison reports.

Impact Instead of splitting snaps with Braedyn Locke like in July, Van Dyke handled all of Wisconsin's first-team reps, indicating he will be the 2024 Badgers' primary quarterback to begin their season. The ex-Miami QB eventually rising up is not too surprising, considering how spring and fall played out. Van Dyke is also a proven option, having been Miami's primary quarterback from 2021 to 2023. Across the span, he completed 63.8 percent of 910 passes for 7,469 yards and a 54:23 TD:INT ratio.

Tawee Walker - Challenging for starting role Walker has reportedly been impressing in fall practice and could potentially challenge for the starting role for the Badgers, per Jon McNamara of Rivals.com.

Impact Walker, who transferred in from Oklahoma, will be competing with Chez Mellusi to replace Braelon Allen and lead the Wisconsin backfield for the 2024 season. The 5-foot-9 senior has reportedly impressed coaches during fall practice and has earned consideration to be named RB1. Walker ran for 513 yards and seven touchdowns for the Sooners in 2023 and will be hoping to earn the top spot for the Badgers in 2024.
