The Wisconsin Badgers are under new leadership. Head coach Luke Fickell has already brought in transfer quarterbacks Nick Evers from Oklahoma and Tanner Mordecai from SMU. There is certainly a great level of buzz surrounding the Badgers football program, and athletes from all over the country have taken notice. One of these is CJ Williams, a former four-star recruit who played for USC this past season. According to Williams’ own Twitter account, he has strong interest in Wisconsin.

This post was former four-star quarterback Nick Evers’ announcement that he had committed to Luke Fickell and Wisconsin. The Oklahoma quarterback will be in Madison next season.
CJ Williams Has Already Planned a Visit to Wisconsin
Shortly after posting his intention to transfer from USC, CJ Williams posted this:

Of course, it is likely that Williams will visit several other schools before he makes any kind of commitment. However, it is notable that he has had his eye on what Fickell is building at Wisconsin. This is obvious based on the fact that his most recent post was Nick Evers’ post about committing to Wisconsin.
