Wisconsin 2017 spring football preview: Troy Fumagalli returns to talented tight end corps

The tight end position has historically been a staple of the Wisconsin Badgers’ offense, and UW will return in 2017 one of the nation’s best in redshirt senior Troy Fumagalli.

The former walk-on has the potential for a monster season and figures to get plenty of targets from quarterback Alex Hornibrook. Behind Fumagalli is redshirt sophomore Kyle Penniston, who showed flashes of brilliance in limited playing time a year ago. A former four-star recruit from California powerhouse Mater Dei, Penniston is ripe for a breakout year.

Will Fumagalli prove to be Wisconsin’s best offensive weapon?
