Wisconsin plays Notre Dame at Soldier Field on Sept. 25.

Coan entered the transfer portal in December after missing the entire 2020 football season due to a broken foot.

During his time with the Badgers, Coan started 18 games. He threw for 3,278 yards and 13 touchdowns. Coan wrapped up his career with a 12-6 record while wearing the cardinal and white.

Coan will compete for the starting job at Notre Dame with the Irish’s star quarterback, Ian Book, heading to the NFL.
