Wisconsin wide receivers coach Jordan Reid is leaving for an assistant job with the Atlanta Falcons, according to multiple reports.

Reid joined the Badgers back in January 2025. He previously spent the 2023 and 2024 campaigns coaching wide receivers at Western Michigan. While Wisconsin's receiving corps had a down season under Reid's watch, that lack of production can mostly be attributed to poor quarterback play. Vinny Anthony finished with a room-high 391 yards, while Trech Kekahuna, Jayden Ballard, Chris Brooks and Eugene Hilton tallied 211, 150, 124 and 91 yards, respectively.

Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell is now tasked with finding a replacement for Reid, who will join the Falcons as their assistant quarterbacks coach. While the 2026 season is still more than six months away, the 2027 recruiting cycle is beginning to heat up. Fickell and the Badgers will have to move fast in finding their next hire.
