MADISON—Of course, one of the first topics reporters asked redshirt senior inside linebacker Chris Orr on Tuesday morning revolved around his weight change noted on the Wisconsin Badgers 2019 spring roster.
UW listed Orr, now in his fifth year in the program, at 214 pounds. That was down 18 pounds from the 232 the program designated him at for the 2018 season. One should note that Wisconsin’s staff updates its players’ weights twice a year—once after winter conditioning before spring ball, and once after summer conditioning before fall camp begins.
Regardless, after Orr updated his diet with some help from a key third phase of the game, the results show as he prepares to lead Wisconsin’s defense heading into the 2019 season.
