  Draft Scout by Conference









  Luke Fickell has seen up close his new quarterback on some of his worst days as a college passer. Tanner Mordecai, arguably the headliner of a 13-player transfer class for the University of Wisconsin football team, faced off against Fickell and his Cincinnati Bearcats teams each of the last two years in American Athletic Conference play. Mordecai and SMU couldn't quite crack Fickell and coordinator Mike Tressel's defense, falling 48-14 in 2021, then Mordecai suffered a concussion that forced him out of a 29-27 defeat last season.

Still, Fickell saw talent and moxie in Mordecai, who put up big numbers against pretty much every other opponent he faced with SMU. "I think we were very fortunate when we played him," Fickell said Thursday at an alumni event in Milwaukee, "so we'll harass him a little bit about that." Mordecai was one of three transfer quarterbacks to join the Badgers during the first portal window, along with Nick Evers (Oklahoma) and Braedyn Locke (Mississippi State). SMU was 14-10 with Mordecai under center, but offense was rarely the problem. The Mustangs averaged 37.2 points per game last season, good for 12th in the FBS, after scoring 38.4 points per game in 2021. He led a spread-out offense somewhat similar to the one he'll be asked to engineer under Fickell and new offensive coordinator Phil Longo. - Wisconsin State Journal
