A redshirt freshman will not be on the 2017 Wisconsin Badgers football roster.
Defensive end Jake Hescock has been granted his release from UW to transfer to a different program, a UW official confirmed to B5Q. Badger247’s Evan Flood first reported the news of the 6’7, 250-pound lineman’s departure, with the Wisconsin State Journal’s Jason Galloway also reporting the move.
Hescock, a Pittsfield, Mass., native, came to Wisconsin as a four-star tight end per 247Sports and a three-star recruit by Rivals, Scout, and ESPN. The Class of 2016 prospect played tight end in his first season but recently moved over to defensive end.
