With the 2016 college football season now in the books, B5Q looks ahead to 2017 and a Wisconsin Badgers program building off its 11-win campaign. In the coming days, we’ll profile certain players who could be in line to play a significant role in what will be head coach Paul Chryst’s third year guiding UW.
Whether it’s a position group weakened by key departures, a player who transferred into Madison or just possibly needed an extra year of seasoning before contributing, these are our picks for Badgers that’ll “pop” in 2017.
Wisconsin loses outgoing seniors Corey Clement and Dare Ogunbowale, who combined for 1,881 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2016 for a rebuilt rushing attack.
