CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A single word comes up when teammates and coaches talk about University of Wisconsin linebacker Noah Burks:
Consistency.
It comes up so often that it almost seems as if the answer was coordinated.
But as Badgers players and coaches discuss Burks, a junior who’s holding down the outside linebacker spot opposite senior Zack Baun, it’s his consistency that time and again jumps out.
“I think what Noah’s done a really good job of, and I think it started in the spring and then fall camp, he’s been really consistent,” UW coach Paul Chryst said.
