The day following the College Football National Championship, a Wisconsin signee is already focused on the team’s future aspirations. The Ohio State Buckeyes won the championship by defeating Notre Dame 34-23, celebrating with the trophy and confetti. Jaylen Williams, a 4-star recruit for Wisconsin, watched the game and is optimistic about Wisconsin achieving similar success “soon.” He shared on social media that the day when Wisconsin can celebrate a championship isn’t too far off.
Despite the team’s disappointing previous season and head coach Luke Fickell’s uncertain position, fans responded overwhelmingly with excitement for Wisconsin’s future. Part of their optimism likely stems from the fact that a fellow Big Ten team won the title, even though the Badgers didn’t face them last season. Jokingly, fans highlight a chain of victories: since Wisconsin beat Rutgers, who defeated Washington, which then beat Michigan, that ultimately overcame Ohio State, Wisconsin fans claim they should be viewed as champions.
While this reasoning is purely humorous and unrealistic, it does spark hope among fans that championship glory may be closer than anticipated. If the Badgers can secure a strong and healthy quarterback along with a more cohesive game strategy, next season might bring positive progress.
Williams believes that Wisconsin’s championship run could happen sooner rather than later. The talented edge player, who initially committed to Michigan, switched his allegiance to Wisconsin in November and is eager to contribute to the team’s quest for a championship trophy next season.
