With a medical redshirt on the table, Luke Fickell still lost his starting safety

There were a couple of players that should have walked on Senior Night but didn't. Billy Edwards Jr. and Preston Zachman should have been part of the celebration when Wisconsin took on their final home game of the season versus Illinois but they didn't. Both had it in their minds to pursue medical redshirts and play for one more season. Both also were thinking about transferring.

Edwards has already decided to play elsewhere next year, with a medical redshirt secured, and now starting safety Preston Zachman will follow suit. He's actually going to be entering his seventh season of college football, as he is one of the rare players who used a regular redshirt, a COVID bonus year, and now a medical redshirt with four other playing years sprinkled in.
