Wisconsin’s defensive line development something to watch starting in spring

After a year filled with injuries, Wisconsin’s defensive line is finally healthy and ready to bounce back from an up and down 2018 season. At defensive end, Garrett Rand returns from what the Wisconsin State Journal’s Jason Galloway reported as a torn right Achilles, and fellow redshirt junior Isaiahh Loudermilk has had an offseason to get fully healthy after missing four games last year. The loss of nose tackle Olive Sagapolu stings, but rising true sophomore Bryson Williams has all the talent to have a huge 2019 season. After battling through injuries and youth last year, Wisconsin finally has depth up front and the defensive line should be a strength of Jim Leonhard’s defense heading into the spring and beyond.
