Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor to run track this spring
Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports Everyone knows Jonathan Taylor is a fast running back. Now he will use that speed for the Wisconsin Badgers track and field team this spring.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Jeff Potrykus first reported of Taylor, who claimed the 2018 Doak Walker Award winner after leading the nation in rushing last season, running track. WOZN’s Zach Heilprin also tweeted the news minutes later.
It appears Taylor’s track career will start right away, as Potrykus and the Wisconsin State Journal’s Jason Galloway noted that the talented back joined the track team this week while missing Wisconsin’s spring practice on Tuesday.
