Wisconsin Lands Old Dominion QB Colton Joseph in Transfer Portal

The Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year reflects Wisconsin's push for quarterback stability after injury-plagued seasons.

Overview

  • Joseph confirmed to WTKR that he is transferring to Wisconsin after multiple outlets reported his commitment.
  • At ODU in 2025, he threw for 2,624 yards with 21 touchdowns and rushed for 1,007 yards with 13 scores, and he has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
  • He is viewed as the front-runner to start in 2026 and will compete in a room that includes Danny O’Neil and Carter Smith as Billy Edwards Jr. departs for North Carolina.
  • Wisconsin targeted Joseph as its top portal quarterback while ramping up roster investment following a 2025 offense that averaged 12.8 points per game.
  • Old Dominion is expected to turn to Quinn Henicle at quarterback after Joseph sat out the Cure Bowl, where Henicle earned MVP honors.
