Madison — Carrying 201 lean pounds on his 6-foot-2 frame, Robert Wheelwrightlooks the part of a No. 1 wide receiver.
Wheelwright's numbers in his first two seasons at Wisconsin are less impressive: three catches for 26 yards and a touchdown in 24 games.
Knowing UW needs at least a second receiver to develop into a consistent threat to aid Alex Erickson, Wheelwright recently returned to practice from a groin injury and closed spring practice with a flourish.
The rising junior from Columbus, Ohio, caught seven passes for 79 yards and two touchdowns in UW's annual spring game Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.
