Wisconsin Badgers running back Chez Mellusi is planning to return for a sixth and final season in 2024, head coach Luke Fickell revealed at his National Signing Day press conference on Wednesday.
“I don’t know that Chez has announced [yet], but yeah, he is definitely planning on coming back,” Fickell shared. “[He’s] looking good. Not that he’s going to be able to suit up here for the bowl game, but he’s a guy that we’re going to count on a lot to be a great leader for us.”
Mellusi posted the news himself on X, sharing a heartfelt message and announcing his return to Wisconsin for another year.
