Wisconsin football: Badgers walk-ons Ryan Connelly, Zander Neuville earn scholarships

Two more Wisconsin football players have added their name to the wall outside the Badgers locker room as walk-ons who have earned scholarships.

Redshirt freshmen Ryan Connelly and Zander Neuville -- who have worked their way into contributing spots on the team during spring and fall camp -- earned scholarships, the team announced via their official Twitter page on Tuesday night.

Connelly, a 6'3, 233-pound inside linebacker from Eden Prairie, Minn., gained reps with the first-team defense after injuries to projected starters Leon Jacobs and T.J. Edwards early in fall camp.
