Maryland quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. entered the transfer portal last Thursday, and predictions were cast by On3’s Steve Wiltfong and Pete Nakos in favor of the Michigan Wolverines the very next morning.
But things took a drastic turn on Monday when Wiltfong and Nakos flipped their predictions in favor of a different Big Ten school — Wisconsin. Edwards took a trip to Wisconsin over the weekend and reportedly had a “great” time in Madison, according to Nakos.
Additionally, Nakos reported Edwards isn’t expected to make his originally scheduled visit to Michigan that was set for Monday, but that Edwards will “probably take another visit before making a final decision.”
Interestingly enough, Wisconsin also just landed quarterback Danny O’Neill from San Diego State out of the portal, so if Edwards does indeed end up at Wisconsin, he will have some other competition via the portal to earn the starting job.
Sherrone Moore has made it clear that he wants to land a quarterback in the portal this winter to pair up with five-star true freshman Bryce Underwood. Edwards seemed to be that guy late last week, but will no longer be heading to Ann Arbor to try and lead Michigan back to the College Football Playoff. It may be back to the drawing board for Moore and company to provide Underwood with some competition this offseason.
