The Wisconsin Badgers got some good news this offseason when running back Chez Mellusi announced his intentions to return for a sixth season, providing them a key piece to lead the charge in 2024.
With Braelon Allen departing, Mellusi is expected to be the lead back in 2024, with a plethora of intriguing backups behind him in a depth-heavy room for the Badgers.
Some of that depth will see increased reps this spring, however, as head coach Luke Fickell revealed that Mellusi will not have a big role, if at all during spring ball, as he continues to recover from a fractured fibula.
