*Note: 2018 spring rosters have not been officially released yet. However, the Wisconsin State Journal’s Jason Galloway reported on Thursday that the Badgers’ 2018 spring roster was released on UWBadgers.com showing Deron Harrell moving to cornerback from wide receiver. However, a UW official later said the roster was not “finalized.” Once the final roster is released next week, we’ll update each position preview accordingly.
2017 Leaders

Nick Nelson
Derrick Tindal
With the loss of both starting corners heading into the 2018 season, Wisconsin will need to fill the two positions left by All-Big Ten cornerbacks Nick Nelson (consensus first-team) and Derrick Tindal (consensus honorable mention).
