Zack Baun has had one of the more interesting career paths of any Badger in recent memory. An accomplished athlete in high school, Baun played quarterback, and became one of the most prolific rushing threats in the state. Initially a walk-on offer from then-coach Gary Andersen, he was upgraded to a scholarship player by Paul Chryst. After a redshirt season, Baun found his way on the field in 2016 at outside linebacker with Vince Biegel, T.J. Watt and Garret Dooley. However, a foot injury forced him to sit out 2017 and in 2018 he was a nice player on a down Wisconsin defense.
