Wisconsin football: Walk-on RB Dare Ogunbowale, LB Jack Cichy earn scholarships

A tweet first by junior safety Leo Musso (h/t Fox Sports Wisconsin's Dave Heller), later confirmed by B5Q and on Twitter by the Wisconsin athletic department, announced junior running back Dare Ogunbowale and sophomore linebacker Jack Cichy would be put on scholarship.

Ogunbowale moved from cornerback to running back and played in all 14 games in 2014, rushing for 5.7 yards per carry and a touchdown. Most of the Milwaukee, Wis. native's carries were seen late in games as the No. 3 running back behind Melvin Gordon and Corey Clement, but earned praise from Gordon for picking up the position quickly.
