The former three-star recruit in the class of 2024 has shown great promise. His time at San Diego State gave him valuable starting experience, which is more than what redshirt freshmen Braedyn Locke and Nick Evers had at the time of their commitments. However, he is expected to start his Wisconsin career as the backup initially and then work his way up to potentially becoming a starter in the future.
His transfer to Wisconsin is a strategic move that adds depth and competition to the quarterback position. It shows the Badgers’ commitment to building a strong team and having options at the most important position on the field.
O’Neil’s commitment was quickly followed by the possibility of landing former Maryland starter Billy Edwards Jr. This duo could form a strong backup and starter combination, providing Luke Fickell with the personnel he needs to build around coordinator Jeff Grimes’ new offense. It gives the team a better chance of success and allows for more flexibility in game situations.
With O’Neil on board, the Badgers now have more options at quarterback and can better prepare for the challenges ahead. His experience and potential will be crucial as the team looks to improve and achieve its goals.
For a more comprehensive understanding of Wisconsin’s quarterback situation, it is important to keep an eye on their transfer offer, visit, and commitment tracker. This allows fans and followers to stay updated on the latest developments and potential additions to the team.
