Wisconsin received tough news Tuesday with its most experienced offensive linemen, fifth year senior Dan Voltz, abruptly announcing he was giving up football.

The decision was spurred by medical concerns, including the torn anterior cruciate ligament and lateral meniscus which abruptly ended Voltz's 2015 season.

"It's hard," Voltz told reporters Tuesday. "This program's been a big part of my life for going on five years now. It's something I deeply care about. You earn the respect of your teammates because of how hard you work and the time you put in here, so telling them that you're no longer going to be part of it anymore, it was difficult for me.
