Coming off three rough seasons under Luke Fakel, the team needed that shake-up and now leadership is key with so many new faces hitting spring. Practices. Offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes highlighted a few standouts early on like receiver Chris Brooks who stepped up vocally after battling injuries.

These vets are setting the tone now but expect more voices to rise

as camp rolls on and the Badgers gear up for a rebound.
