Despite limited action in spring ball, S Travian Blaylock could be Week 1 starter for Badgers

Wisconsin Badgers safety Travian Blaylock had a tough 2022 season, tearing his ACL prior to the fall, which cost him the entirety of his redshirt senior season.

Blaylock was set to be an important contributor for the Badgers in the secondary, joining emerging candidate Hunter Wohler and transfer Kamo’i Latu to complement senior John Torchio in manning the backend.

However, the veteran safety is returning back to full strength, posting several videos of his elite speed, while also being a weekly feature on Strength & Conditioning coach Brady Collins’s “Need 4 Speed” drill winners.

Last month, safeties coach Colin Hitschler affirmed his expectations for Blaylock in 2023, believing that he’ll play an integral role this upcoming year.
