Shocking News!!! “I’m Leaving Soon” – Wisconsin Badgers Football Team Quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. Set to Make Move as $21 Million Deal Closes
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the college football world, Wisconsin Badgers star quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. announced late Tuesday night, “I’m leaving soon,”
igniting speculation about his future. Just hours later, sources confirmed that Edwards had inked a historic $21 million NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) endorsement deal—one of the largest ever in collegiate sports.
The 22-year-old quarterback, who transferred from Maryland and revitalized the Badgers’ offense with over 2,800 passing yards in 2024, reportedly caught the attention of a media-tech conglomerate looking to launch a nationwide athlete-driven streaming platform. The deal includes media appearances, a documentary series on his journey through college football, and a partnership with a sportswear brand developing a signature “Edwards Elite” cleat.
“This is bigger than football,” Edwards said in a surprise press conference on campus. “I’ve loved my time in Madison, but this opportunity gives me a platform to grow beyond the game—and give back.”
The locker room was stunned. Head coach Luke Fickell expressed mixed emotions, praising Billy’s leadership but admitting the timing was “unexpected and tough.” Meanwhile, teammates rallied behind their quarterback, with wide receiver Will Pauling posting, “Proud of you, bro. Go shine.”
As Edwards prepares for his final game in the Badgers’ spring showcase before officially departing, fans are torn. Some feel betrayed; others celebrate his success as a sign of the evolving landscape of college athletics.
