New Wisconsin Badgers head coach Luke Fickell and new offensive coordinator Phil Longo have been working the recruiting trails hard. Their hard work paid off on Saturday morning. Four-star quarterback Nick Evers, who entered the transfer portal from Oklahoma, announced he has committed to Wisconsin for the 2023 season.

Wisconsin Badgers insider Evan Flood Tweeted out that the Evers commitment may open a floodgate of transfers committing to Wisconsin:
I don't think the #Badgers are done in the portal FWIW and the Nick Evers commitment is going to open a lot of doors from what I'm hearing…

Nick Evers is leaving Oklahoma after just one year with the program. He has YEARS of eligibility remaining, meaning he could be an integral part of the Badgers offense for the foreseeable future. No doubt, that is what attracted him to Wisconsin. Braelon Allen is back and is as good of a running back a quarterback could hope to share a backfield with. Additionally, the Badgers will be bringing back all of their top four wide receivers from this past season.
Nick Evers Scouting Report
Nick Evers was recruited to Oklahoma out of Flower Mound High School in Texas. In two seasons as the varsity quarterback, Evers threw 40 touchdown passes and just 14 interceptions. He also rushed for 915 yards and 15 touchdowns between those two seasons.
According to cfbsaturdays.com, “Nick Evers has all of the tools to become a great college quarterback. He should only get better as he fills out and gains experience. Evers’ talent and poise will help him develop into a high end college quarterback who can be a starter for an upper echelon power five team.”
Wisconsin has already seen Graham Mertz leave via the transfer portal. Evers will join Myles Burkett in the Badgers quarterback room for 2023.
