Michael Caputo Set to Lead 2015 Wisconsin Football Defense

The Wisconsin Badgers have several holes to fill from a defense that ranked among the best in college football last season, with players like Derek Landisch and Marcus Trotter graduating. Still, the defense is in good hands under coordinator Dave Aranda, and will be led by senior safety Michael Caputo.

A year ago, Caputo led the Badgers in tackles with 104 total (64 solo, 40 assisted) and added an interception, four fumble recoveries, and a pair of forced fumbles.

The redshirt senior has played in 40 games as a Badger, and his experience will help a younger Wisconsin defense in 2015.
