Wisconsin needs to reload on the defensive line

Not to beat a dead horse, but the Wisconsin Badgers defensive line has been one of the most underrated position groups over the past few years. A solid stable of linemen have clogged gaps and made critical plays on some of the best defenses displayed in school history.

Now, ends Chikwe Obasih, Alec James, and Conor Sheehy are gone—the latter two are attempting to make NFL rosters with the Arizona Cardinals and Green Bay Packers, respectively—and 156 games of college football experience go with them.

Senior Olive Sagapolu returns to anchor the line at nose tackle, but with some injuries surfacing this summer, an unproven group will have to step up.
