The Wisconsin Badgers got some major news on Wednesday as star cornerback Ricardo Hallman announced that he’ll be returning for a fifth and final season, foregoing the NFL Draft once again.

That decision provides a big boost to the cornerback room, as Wisconsin had just two returning players before that: freshmen Omillio Agard and Jay Harper.

Well, he isn’t the only senior who is expected to return for the Badgers, as sixth-year defensive lineman Ben Barten and outside linebacker Aaron Witt are also coming back for a final year, according to The Athletic’s Jesse Temple.
