Even the Wisconsin Badgers' most faithful members couldn’t have predicted the emergence of Wisconsin’s wide receiver transfer Will Pauling ahead of the 2023-24 season.

With several off-season additions to Luke Fickell’s squad, it opens the door for other players buried in the depth chart to break out and earn playing time at their position.
