“I am extremely grateful for Coach (Phil) Longo and Coach Fickell for believing in me and providing me with an incredible opportunity,” Locke wrote in a statement on social media. “I can’t wait to get to work in Madison!”

Locke helps fill out the Badgers’ quarterback roster after Graham Mertz left for Florida. He joins former SMU quarterback Tanner Mordecai and former Oklahoma quarterback Nick Evers on the team.

Locke’s announcement wasn’t the only news from Camp Randall on Tuesday. Freshman all-American kicker Nathanial Vakos is also heading to Madison.

Last season, he connected on 19 of 23 field goals at Ohio.
