Since Caleb Williams had announced he would leave Oklahoma, three destinations have repeatedly been named in reports on his potential destination for next season: USC, UCLA and LSU. But Wisconsin has also apparently emerged as a serious contender for the former Sooner, according to Gerry Hamilton of On3 Sports.
The Badgers went 9–4 in 2021, including 6–3 in the Big Ten behind the play of quarterback Graham Mertz, who finished with 1,958 yards, 10 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Despite a winning season, Wisconsin fell short of winning a division title and returning to the conference championship game. If Badgers football coach Paul Chryst lands Williams, it would serve as a major boost to the Badgers’ offense going into the 2022 season.
