After getting buried - fifth on the quarterback depth chart - Austin Kafentzis will transfer to another school.

 

The young man had some promise but I could never understand the hype he was getting locally here in Madison.  The guy didn't have a line of big schools offering him and Rivals had him ranked #27 on their list of dual-threat quarterbacks.  But man was Madison all in love with this guy when he signed.

 

Apparently is was obvious right from the get-go in spring ball that Alex Hornibrook was way better.  Kafentzis was dead set on playing quarterback.  I wonder if Chyrst suggested to Austin that he might be better at safety/receiver and that's what caused the decision.

 

Oh well, with Hornibrook looking good and Lyles already committed in the 2016 class the Badgers look to be OK at the position without Kafentzis.  I realize some of the stuff I typed above looks like I may be ripping on the young man.  That's not the intent, I wish him the best and hopefully he goes on and has a solid college football career.

Interesting development

AF fits more of the Gary Andetson dual threat mold and if he's really 5th on the depth chart I would imagine he wants a better shot at playing QB someplace else

The good news is it sounds like the QB position is improving

Andersen's recruiting strategy really screwed up the last class big-time.  Really have to question what the guy was thinking.  Recruit 25 guys with just about half of them having little chance to make it through admissions.
