For Wisconsin Badgers cornerback Ricardo Hallman, the journey to stardom has been anything but easy.
Initially starting off as a redshirt in 2021, Hallman saw the field during his redshirt freshman season in 2022, working his way into the starting rotation as a young player.
However, that road came with twists and bumps, as opponents looked to take advantage of the cornerback’s size, isolating him with favorable matchups to move the ball down the field.
It all came to a halt during Week 7, when Hallman struggled against the likes of Michigan State receivers Jayden Reed, a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and Keon Coleman, a projected top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
