As the Badgers prepare for their season opener in less than a month, head coach Luke Fickell is still fine tuning the roster. It appears that a member of the defense has switched things up, and will now be a part of the Wisconsin offense.

Tyler Jansey, the former linebacker, is now listed as a tight end on the roster, and is expected to compete for a fullback role behind Jackson Acker according to Jon McNamara. The 6-foot-1, 234-pound redshirt sophomore, who has largely played on special teams for the Badgers, will now give it a go at playing offense.
