Wisconsin Football Star Myles Burkett Takes the Helm at Albany
Major Changes in Wisconsin Football
Wisconsin football has been buzzing with activity as two players have sought new beginnings outside the Badgers program. Myles Burkett and Nick Evers transferred out in hopes of securing more playing time.
Burkett's Journey to Albany
As a Wisconsin native and a redshirt sophomore, Burkett remained on the sidelines as the No. 3 quarterback for his first year. With no prospects for playing time, he decided to transfer to Albany to pursue a starting role.
Starting QB Announcement
Ahead of the season, Albany head coach Greg Gattuso confirmed Burkett's ascension as the starting quarterback for the season opener against LIU. Gattuso cited Burkett's improved decision-making and reduced turnovers in practice as key factors in his selection over former Auburn transfer Trey Lindsey.
Opportunity Awaits Burkett
With Albany's recent success, finishing 11-4 and reaching the FCS Semifinals, Burkett steps into a promising situation. Last year's quarterback, Reese Poffenbarger, has left for Miami, opening the door for Burkett to leave his mark.
