The Wisconsin Badgers Football program is in Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt’s preseason top 25
The countdown for the 2023 Wisconsin Badgers football season rolls on as we enter the month of June and there’s a lot of excitement for the Luke Fickell era to start.
With the head coach taking over, the Badgers will run a new style of offense and the hope is that he can maximize the talent on the roster. So far, it’s been good for Fickell but he has to get that momentum to transfer over to the football field.
Following recruiting and Spring football games, Fox analyst Joel Klatt released his updated top 25 teams, including the Badgers.
Klatt has the Badgers as his No. 23 team in the post-Spring rankings. Here is what Klatt had to say about Wisconsin’s ranking:
“Tanner Mordecai comes in and I think he’s gonna be an upgrade at QB. But then, he threw four picks in the spring game and you’ve gotta be thinking to yourself, ‘Oh my gosh, Graham Mertz 2.0.’ This is a team that is going to get a new coordinator and a new identity on offense with Phil Longo. I like Tanner Mordecai. They’ve still got some talent on that side obviously with Braelon Allen. I think Luke Fickell will do a nice job. This is a really good head coach. You saw what he did at Cincinnati. He took them to the playoff.”
While it’s just a preseason ranking, it’s nice to see the Wisconsin Badgers football program being mentioned among the top teams in college football.
Let’s just hope they can climb the rankings as the season goes on next Fall.
