While much fan interest this spring centers around Graham Mertz and the University of Wisconsin's quarterback position, a different early enrollee may be turning just as many heads during the first half of spring.
Grantsburg's Leo Chenal continues to take the large bulk of second-team reps at inside linebacker during practices open to the media, and he's already making enough plays to justify his place.
He intercepted two passes over the Badgers' first three open practices, returning one for a likely touchdown off a pass from Mertz.
"Leo's a good football player, and he's getting an opportunity to get a lot of reps," UW coach Paul Chryst said.
