Troy Fumagalli looks like Wisconsin’s next great tight end

Troy Fumagalli nearly missed the LSU game, but could become a star after his performance in Wisconsin’s win.

Days before the Wisconsin Badgers faced the No. 5 LSU Tigers, their leading receiver in the game suffered an injury that nearly kept him out of the game.

Redshirt junior tight end Troy Fumagalli slipped in practice and sophomore safety Arrington Farrar stepped on his hand in the end zone. Fumagalli said he could see tendons through the cut in his hand, which required 30 stitches to close. Fortunately, the injury only required a couple days of rest and he was able to suit up at Lambeau Field.
