Wisconsin’s quarterback future is getting more interesting by the week, and Jack Sorgi is a big reason why.
The Badgers’ QB commit has put together a strong start to his senior season at Tri-West Hendricks, piling up 1,401 passing yards, 12 passing touchdowns, 313 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns through five games. He’s doing damage with both his arm and his legs, the kind of dual-threat production that naturally draws comparisons to Wisconsin quarterback Colton Joseph, who also isn’t afraid to pull it down and run.
The efficiency has been just as eye-catching as the raw numbers. Sorgi is completing nearly 70% of his passes and owns a 124.3 quarterback rating, production that has helped keep Tri-West at 3-2 while giving Wisconsin fans plenty to feel good about.
His numbers are already ahead of where he was a year ago. 24/7 Sports reports, "Led Tri-West to a 7-4 record as a junior.
Completed 178 of 291 passes (61.2%) for 2,911 yards with 31 TDs and 14 INTs. Also carried the ball 40 times for 156 yards (3.9 YPC) and 2 TDs."
That kind of progress matters because Wisconsin’s quarterback room is already crowded and getting younger by the day. There are no seniors there now.
Joseph is a junior and still has another season ahead of him, while Ryan Hopkins is a true freshman and Deuce Adams is a sophomore. Carter Smith is also only a sophomore, and Danny O'Neil may also only be a sophomore depending on how his medical eligibility works out.
Sorgi would add yet another talented arm to the mix next season, with the possibility that he becomes the next Hopkins-type addition.
That comparison isn’t just about the role he could play. Hopkins arrived at Wisconsin as a relatively underrecruited 3-star quarterback and has already shown he’s ahead of schedule.
Sorgi is on a similar track out of Indiana. He’s also a 3-star prospect, has only four offers, and keeps backing up the hype with his play on the field.
There’s also the family connection. Sorgi is a legacy recruit for Wisconsin, with his dad, Jim, having played for the Badgers in the early 2000s.
For Wisconsin, the situation is simple: more quality options at quarterback is a good problem. Injuries, offseason movement and camp battles can change the picture fast, but the Badgers are in position to keep stacking talent at the most important spot on the field.

Wisconsin's Penn State Test Could Hinge On One Missing Playmaker
Wisconsins win over Penn State featured a breakout from Colton Joseph, who accounted for four touchdowns and led the Badgers in both passing and rushing yards. Even so, the offense still had to navigate life without Abu Sama, the running back sidelined by a shoulder injury, and the group managed nearly 500 yards anyway despite a running game that wasnt at its usual level.
Sama is expected back for the next matchup with Penn State, and that gives Wisconsin a potential boost in a spot where balance could matter most. The Badgers already showed they can pile up production with Joseph carrying the load, but getting their missing playmaker back adds another layer to an offense that may need every edge it can find in the rematch.

Wisconsin's Penn State Test Gets Tougher With Two Huge Matchups
Wisconsin wrapped up non-conference play at 2-1 and now heads into the part of the schedule that usually tells the story of a season. Penn State is next, and the Nittany Lions arrive ranked No. 13 with a 3-0 start, which makes this a tough opening test for the Badgers as Big Ten play begins.
The challenge gets even more layered when you look at the names involved. Quarterback Drew Becht has been the engine of the Penn State offense, while wide receiver Jahan Howard remains one of the key pieces to track as his injury status is questionable heading into the game. On the other side, linebacker Kalen Rojas is back from injury and giving the Penn State defense a boost, which only adds to the pressure Wisconsin will face in a matchup that already has plenty of weight.

Wisconsins Auburn Test Just Got Bigger In A Brutal December Stretch
Wisconsins out-of-conference trip to Nashville now comes with a little more clarity, and a little more weight. The Badgers will face Auburn on Dec. 19 at 3 p.m. CT at Bridgestone Arena, with ESPN carrying the game, giving John Blackwell and company a prime late-December measuring stick against one of the sports most physical programs.
The matchup also has a different look on the Auburn side entering the 2026-27 season. Steven Pearl is set to be in his second year leading the Tigers, and they bring back important pieces in Tahaad Pettiford and Kevin Overton, which only raises the intrigue around how Wisconsin handles that stretch of the calendar. The timing of the game, right in the middle of a brutal December run, makes it feel less like a standalone showcase and more like a road sign for what this Badgers team might be by then. [Read more 🡒]
