O'Brien has left Wisconsin, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
O'Brien was expected to emerge as Wisconsin's new starting quarterback in 2012, but he turned out to be a complete disaster and was outplayed by both Joel Stave and Curt Phillips. O'Brien would have been no higher than fourth on the depth chart this year with Stave, Phillips and Tanner McEvoy around.

A transfer from Maryland, O'Brien struggled in his sophomore season in College Park in 2011. He completed only 56.4 percent of his passes, while throwing seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions. As a freshman, however, O'Brien shined for the Terrapins, completing 57 percent of his passes and averaging 7.2 yards per attempt, while throwing 22 touchdowns and only eight interceptions. Wisconsin helped Russell Wilson adapt quite well after transferring from North Carolina State last season. Now, the Badgers are hoping they get more of the freshman version of O'Brien than the sophomore one.
