Quarterback Mabrey Mettauer came away from his only visit to Wisconsin’s campus in September impressed with so many facets of the football program. He liked how big the offensive linemen were, the talent of the running backs and defensive players, the game-day atmosphere inside Camp Randall Stadium and the coaches. But, if he was being honest with himself, there was one major aspect he couldn’t ignore.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt wasn’t my favorite offense,\u201d Mettauer told The Athletic<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Mettauer (pronounced meh-TAW-yer), a four-star prospect and the No. 21 quarterback in the 2024 recruiting class, had options. Lots of them. He has earned scholarship offers from 20 Power 5 schools. And he wasn’t going to settle for something that didn’t excite him. Watching Wisconsin struggle to score with its pro-style offense in a 17-14 loss to Washington State during his visit only further hammered home that point. Three weeks later, Badgers head coach Paul Chryst was fired.<\/p>\n
But as Mettauer’s junior season at The Woodlands High School in Texas wrapped up and he began to more seriously evaluate his choices, everything changed. Luke Fickell, who had recruited Mettauer at Cincinnati, was hired to lead Wisconsin. He then brought in the offensive coordinator Mettauer had perhaps the best relationship with of anyone during his recruitment: North Carolina’s Phil Longo, whose Air Raid offense greatly intrigued Mettauer, a dual-threat with a strong right arm.<\/p>\n
\nI am grateful for the opportunities that I’ve been blessed with! With lots of prayer, I have decided to follow @CoachFick<\/a> and @CoachPhilLongo<\/a> to the Big 10 where I will look forward to playing in the Air Raid!<\/p>\n
Glory to God! Let’s go BADGER NATION !!\ud83e\udda1 \ud83d\udd34\u26aa\ufe0f pic.twitter.com\/9OKBp0CLtu<\/a><\/p>\n
