Similar to its cornerback situation, Wisconsin’s safety position comes into 2018 with one spot solidified while the other remains up in the air. This will be crucial to the Wisconsin defense this season as it comes off a 2017 campaign with a seasoned secondary that led the FBS in team passer rating efficiency defense.
There could be a relatively new, inexperienced set of faces seen with these particular roles to replace Natrell Jamerson and Joe Ferguson; however, this group of safeties, led by senior D’Cota Dixon, looks to continue precedent and assert themselves as a top unit in the Big Ten.
