Wisconsin lineman Jake Renfro has announced his decision to seek a medical hardship waiver and pursue his sixth year of college football. That's the most surprising part of this all, he should be graduating but instead he's headed to the transfer portal instead.
There's another angle of surprise for the Badgers: he has been a Luke Fickell player through and through. He came with Luke Fickell from Cincinnati, and despite changes at his position coach multiple times, he remained loyal to Fickell. He's now going to try his hand with a new coach, finally.
