With Wisconsin high school football restarting in many parts of the state, a lot of prep athletes are playing the fall in the hopes of earning an opportunity to play football collegiality in the future.
The Wisconsin Badgers have done an excellent job in the past few decades building a fence around the state, ensuring that the best football players stay home to wear cardinal and white on Saturdays.
For many in-state players the chance to play at the University of Wisconsin is a lifelong dream. Whether that aspiration is realized with a full scholarship or as a preferred walk-on, has a great deal to do with talent, size, character and of course work.
