As someone who’s contributed in a major way for the University of Wisconsin since his redshirt freshman season, Chikwe Obasih wasn’t about to let a left leg injury prevent him from continuing to do so with his Badgers career winding down.

That injury wiped out half of the defensive end’s senior year and could make him a limited participant for much of the other half, but it never stopped Obasih from maximizing his final weeks with UW.
