The Wisconsin football defensive coordinator position, which has sat vacant since Dave Aranda left the Badgers for LSU about three weeks ago, is vacant no more as Wisconsin has reportedly hired former USC defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox to assume control of the defense.
The news was first reported by Football Scoop on Twitter shortly after noon on Wednesday.
