According to Bruce Feldman of The Athletic, Wisconsin is considered the favorite to land Mordecai.

Wisconsin would be a nice landing spot for Mordecai, especially with Luke Fickell at the helm. The former Cincinnati head coach got a close look at Mordecai in the AAC over the past two seasons.

If Mordecai joins the Badgers for the 2022 season, he'd be the second quarterback to transfer to Wisconsin under Fickell's leadership.
