Colton Joseph, Wisconsin's top target at quarterback, has arrived in Madison, the junior signal-caller announced on social media on Sunday.
Joseph just completed his sophomore season at Old Dominion, where he earned Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year honors. The Newport Beach, Calif. native threw for 2,624 yards, with 21 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He finished eighth in the country in total offense at 302.6 yards per contest.
The dual-threat quarterback also rushed for 1,007 yards and scored 13 touchdowns on the ground.
In two seasons with the Monarchs, Joseph accounted for 54 total touchdowns. He completed 59.8% of his passes while rushing for 6.1 yards per carry.
Wisconsin was snake-bit by injuries at the quarterback position in 2025. Opening day starter Billy Edwards Jr. -- who just announced his transfer to North Carolina -- suffered an injury in his first game and only appeared in one more contest.
Three quarterbacks combined to throw nine touchdowns but also 13 interceptions for Wisconsin (4-8) this season. The Badgers scored a total of 154 points (12.8 per game), with only Massachusetts scoring fewer points per game at 11.1 among all FBS teams.
Joseph joins current Badgers Danny O'Neil, Carter Smith and incoming freshman Ryan Hopkins as quarterback candidates for Wisconsin in 2026.
