After moving Leon Jacobs to fullback earlier this year, Wisconsin will have him also play linebacker now that Chris Orr is out for the season.
Wisconsin will now have Leon Jacobs play both ways.
With starting inside linebacker Chris Orr lost for the season after suffering a torn ACL against LSU on the sophomore's first defensive snap and projected starter TJ Edwards still recovering from a left foot injury that kept him sidelined for Saturday's win, the Badgers are now thin at linebacker. Head coach Paul Chryst seems to have found a solution, confirming on Tuesday's Big Ten teleconference that Jacobs will now play linebacker as well as fullback.
