Myles Burkett, a quarterback for Wisconsin, logs into the NCAA Transfer Portal
Myles Burkett leaves Wisconsin and logs into the NCAA Transfer Portal. After three years of eligibility, the former 3-star prospect looks for fresh challenges.
Myles Burkett, a redshirt freshman, joined the NCAA Transfer Portal on Wednesday, which caused some disruptions for Wisconsin’s quarterback room. Burkett, who played sparingly for Wisconsin in 2022 but did not see the field this year, has made the decision to look for other options. His choice is made in light of the fact that Tanner Mordecai and Braedyn Locke will start every snap for the Badgers in 2023.
“Being a member of such a remarkable group for the past two years has been an absolute blessing. Burkett posted on “X” (previously Twitter) to express his gratitude to coaches Chryst, Fickell, and Longo for letting him be himself and for molding him into the man and athlete he is today. “Having said that, I feel like it’s time for me to take on a new challenge, and I will be using my three years of eligibility to enter the transfer portal.”
ramifications for the football program at Wisconsin
Myles Burkett’s choice to use the transfer portal has implications for the Wisconsin football team as well as his professional career. His exit emphasizes how competitive college football is, and how players frequently look for new surroundings as a result of playing time and professional advancement. Braedyn Locke, the No. 49-ranked quarterback in the Class of 2024, will probably start for Wisconsin, but true freshman Mabrey Mettauer will also be a factor. The Badgers may also try to sign another quarterback by using the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Managing Transition in NCAA Football
In my opinion, Burkett will be able to pursue new challenges and opportunities as a result of this choice, which will help him advance his professional development. Transferring was the appropriate decision for him since, in all honesty, he was never going to play for the Badgers. This is an opportunity for the Wisconsin Badgers to review and maybe reorganize their quarterback strategy going ahead. When the 2024 season begins in Week 1, it will be intriguing to see who Wisconsin’s starting quarterback is.
