UW announces a reshuffling of the strength and conditioning staff, with two former football standouts joining the team.
Wisconsin's athletic department announced the promotion of Erik Helland to director of strength and conditioning on Thursday, along with Bradie Ewing and Kyle Costigan beginning their first year with Wisconsin as assistant football strength and conditioning coach and graduate assistant, respectively.
Helland will continue his work with the men's basketball team, with Ross Kolodziej serving as associate director in addition to his head strength and conditioning coach position with the football program.
Ewing was a team captain in 2011 and a member of back-to-back Rose Bowl teams in 2010 and 2011.
