It’s like Dr. Seuss said, “Oh the places you’ll go."

For former Raines wide receiver Quincy Burroughs, that place was a Times Square billboard Wednesday.

Burroughs was featured on a video ad sponsored by The Varsity Collective that welcomed the 2023 signing class of Wisconsin. He joined the Badgers after spending last season with the University of Cincinnati.

Burroughs was a Super 11, Super 24 and All-First Coast selection during his time in high school.

The standout wide receiver was regarded as a consensus three-star athlete and caught 32 passes for 454 yards and three touchdowns during his senior season at Raines.

Burroughs, 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, did not play as a freshman last season.

He follows coach Luke Fickell, who left the Bearcats for Wisconsin after the regular season ended in November.
