Hopkins & Joseph: Wisconsin's QB Duo Poised for Turnaround

On April 28, Luke Fickles' Wisconsin Badgers have faced quarterback woes in his first

three seasons, with expected starters missing big chunks of, time, especially the last two

years.

Now, transfer Colton Joseph is locked in as the guy to lead them week one at Lambo

Field, but the whole QB room is buzzing as spring practice wraps up.

Coaches like Kenny Guyton and Mike Tressel share positive vibes after recent sessions highlighting

true freshman Ryan Hopkins from California.

This 18-year-old has acclimated fast, showing leadership and poise beyond his years.

Everyone's drawn to Hopkins' mix of maturity and that freshman goofiness, but he doesn't

flinch under pressure.

He slings big throws from wild arm angles, working with the second and third teams, and

could push for backup reps come fall.

Meanwhile, Joseph is grinding daily to bridge the gap from Sunbell Ball to Big Ten battles.

He's building chemistry, sharpening his reads, and settling into the pocket after some

early snaps issues resurfaced.

As a runner, he'll mix it up to keep defense as guessing.

With Joseph as QB1 and Hopkins rising fast, plus Doose Adams holding down seconds.

This depth spells hope to break the injury curse in Spark A, turn around offense when

they hit the field.
