Badgers' Spring Practice: New Faces, Shifting Lines

On March 26, the Wisconsin Badgers wrapped up their third spring practice on Tuesday,

gearing up for next year with more than 40 new players on, the roster.

They're still working without pads, but early sessions highlight a rebuilt quarterback room,

shifting offensive line and deep secondary full of.

Transfers

At quarterback, transfer Colton Joseph from Old Dominion is the top guy,

a dual threat with experience, backed by Louisville's douce atoms returning.

Sophomore Carter Smith, an incoming freshman Ryan Hopkins.

Joseph showed some ups and downs with erratic throws early,

but nice touchdown passes later to wide-out Tyrell Henry.

Adams got solid reps too, flashing a quick release and key completions,

while Hopkins led raw of a promising.

New offensive line coach Eric Mateos is mixing things up after adding four transfers.

The first unit featured Ole Miss transfer PJ.

Wilkins at left tackle, Colin Coverley at left guard, Austin Kewecki from Oklahoma State inside,

Emerson Mandela at right guard, and Kevin Haywood moved to right tackle after his injury recovery.

Depth is strong with more newcomers rotating in.

In the secondary, transfer is dominant, including Arizona State's Javon Robinson,

Oklahoma State's Eric Fletcher, Ohio State's Bryce West at Nickel, and others like Kai Bates and Carson

Van Dinter. Robinson and Fletcher anchored the top corners,

with West fitting well inside, and Bates breaking up passes.

Safety's Marvin Berks and Van Dinter impressed in coverage.

Spring ball continues, giving coaches time to sort reps and build chemistry

before pads come on and the real tests begin.
