Mellusi suffered an injury in the Big Ten opener against Purdue, sidelining him for the entire 2023 season. However, due to that matchup being just the fourth game of the year, he was granted an extra year of eligibility.
Before his injury, Mellusi was a key contributor for the Badgers, recording 307 yards and four touchdowns on 51 carries, good for an average of six yards per rush.
