On April 24th, Jim Sorge's son, Jack, just committed to Wisconsin as a four-star quarterback in the class of 2027, marking a rare, father-son QB legacy for the Badgers. Jim played 39 games from 1999 to 2003, throwing four 4,475 yards, 33. Touchdowns and 20 picks at 55.5 percent completion. He ranks 10th all-time in Badgers passing yards, despite sharing the job most years. Recruited from Michigan over local stars, Jim edged into a crowded room with Brooks Ballinger and others after the Rose Bowl era. They split time early on with Bollinger leading to back-to-back bowls, but Jim's shown as a backup. Like that clutch, 45-yard touchdown to seal. A win over Michigan State. Fans love Jim's heroics, from five touchdown passes to Lee Evans in a blowout revenge game against Michigan State to a 99-yard bomb that. Tied an NCAA record, but drama hit when an Ohio State defender choked him on camera,
side-lining him briefly in a thriller they still won. His senior year piqued with back-to-back 300-yard games, though the team finished 7 and 6. Drafted in a 6-round by the Colts, he backed Peyton Manning for six seasons, appearing in 16 games with six touchdowns, and just one pick. Now with Jack from Indiana stepping up, this legacy could rewrite Badger's QB history watch that 2027 class lighted up.
