Wisconsin football team's roster is filled with quarterbacks. Here's who is at the top of the depth chart.
MADISON – No position on the Wisconsin football team underwent more change in the offseason than quarterback.
Graham Mertz opted to transfer and did not play in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl. Chase Wolf got the start in the bowl game and planned to return to UW for a sixth season, but those plans were altered after the staff brought in three transfers and a freshman.

Tanner Mordecai, Braedyn Locke lead Wisconsin football team's quarterback depth chart
Tanner Mordecai, a sixth-year senior who transferred after starting the last two seasons at SMU. Mordecai has worked with the No. 1 offense all spring.
Braedyn Locke, a redshirt freshman who transferred from Mississippi State.
Marshall Howe, Myles Burkett and Nick Evers are next up on the Badgers' quarterback depth chart
The staff has given reps to walk-on Marshall Howe, Myles Burkett and Nick Evers, a transfer from Oklahoma, in an effort to identify the No. 3 quarterback. Howe, a walk-on who joined the UW program last season, has gotten the bulk of the work and has been solid.
Burkett has made a handful of plays in limited opportunities. Evers might be the best overall athlete in the quarterback room but he has not picked up the offense quickly, which has limited his playing time.
Freshman Cole LaCrue has been been sidelined because of injury.
