Who are the favorites to earn playing time in the secondary for the Badgers in 2023?

The Wisconsin Badgers are entering a unique offseason, having changed their entire coaching staff after hiring head coach Luke Fickell from the Cincinnati Bearcats, while losing some key talent, of which some came in the secondary of the defense.
