Wisconsin QB Alex Hornibrook uses spring break to study football

MADISON, Wis. -- Alex Hornibrook could have chosen to use his spring break like so many college kids temporarily freed from the pressures of classes: catching some sun on a beach and recharging by doing absolutely nothing.

And while Hornibook did manage to soak up a few rays, the sandy shores also served as the backdrop for a crash course in football refinement for Wisconsin's starting quarterback. That's because, over the course of last week, Hornibrook worked with renowned quarterback guru George Whitfield Jr. in San Diego, taking advantage of any opportunity he could to improve as a player.
