Wisconsin football: Badgers confirm position changes for T.J. Watt, D'Cota Dixon, roster changes

The Wisconsin Badgers released their official roster at the program's annual football media day on Sunday, highlighted by a handful of position and personnel changes.

Among the position changes were sophomore D'Cota Dixon moving to safety, redshirt sophomores T.J. Watt and Garret Dooley to outside linebacker and junior Arthur Goldberg bouncing out from nose guard to defensive end.

Watt played tight end for the past two seasons but is coming off an injury-riddled spring. Chryst hopes the change is for the best for the redshirt sophomore.

"I don't know if it's a final move yet for him, but it's a game of chance while he's recovering to get a feel for that position, and I think he's a guy that can add value to our team and maybe on the defensive side of the ball might be the best way for it," Chryst said.
