MADISON—Garret Dooley believes it was sometime during the end of spring and into the second week of fall camp. Leon Jacobs remembers it showed during a Friday night scrimmage when three tackles for loss were recorded.
The “it” is when fellow outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel, from the outside looking in, appeared to become more comfortable with the Wisconsin Badgers’ defense.
Still developing but now a vital part of the position group, Van Ginkel has shown his abilities on Jim Leonhard’s defense in Wisconsin’s first two wins.
“I think with Andrew he’s got the grasp of the playbook, he knows what he’s doing and now he’s able to go out there and play ball,” Dooley said on Tuesday.
