The University of Wisconsin football team has officially made its first move in the transfer portal to address the quarterback position.
The Badgers have secured a commitment from former San Diego State quarterback Danny O’Neil, adding a promising young signal-caller to a room desperate for reinforcements after an offseason full of turnover.
O’Neil, a 6-foot, 195-pound quarterback from Indianapolis, started 11 games as a true freshman for the Aztecs in 2024. Despite San Diego State finishing 3-8 in his starts, O’Neil flashed his potential by completing 63.3% of his passes for 2,181 yards, 12 touchdowns, and six interceptions. He also ran for 93 yards on the ground and added another score.
O'neil opened the season with a streak of 127 consecutive pass attempts without throwing an interception, demonstrating sound decision-making and accuracy as a first-year starter for Sean Lewis.
According to Pro Football Focus data, O’Neil graded out as a 72.4 on offense and 75.0 as a passer, with 12 big-time throws and only nine turnover-worthy plays credited to him on the year.
