Wisconsin Football QB Myles Burkett Enters the Transfer Portal

Wisconsin football redshirt freshman quarterback Myles Burkett has announced that he will enter the transfer portal after two seasons playing for his hometown program.

“I achieved my dream of being a Badger, a goal I set from a young age, and for that, I will be forever grateful,” Burkett said in a social media post. “Thank you to Coach Chryst, Coach Fickell, and Coach Longo for allowing me to be myself and for shaping me into the man and player I am today.”

During Wisconsin football season, Myles Burkett served as the No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart behind Tanner Mordecai and Braedyn Locke. He was later elevated to the backup spot on the two-deep after Mordecai was injured and required surgery.

Burkett didn’t appear in a single game under first-year head coach Luke Fickell this past season. The in-state product did see action in two games during the 2022 season under former head coach Paul Chryst, however, completing 4-of-5 pass attempts for 84 yards.

The 6-foot, 202-pound quarterback who won a state title at Franklin High School joined the Wisconsin football program as a member of the 2022 recruiting class. Per the composite rankings, Burkett was a three-star recruit and considered the No. 43 pro-style quarterback in the country.

Burkett is the second Wisconsin Badgers player to enter the transfer portal this offseason — joining center Dylan Barrett.
