The college football season is around the corner and the Badgers are now 57 days away from their 2023 opener against Buffalo at home on Sept. 2. In Luke Fickell’s first year in Madison, the expectations are high and an athlete that joined him from Cincinnati is expected to start with Wisconsin.
Offensive lineman Jake Renfro is set to start at center and wear number 57 with the Badgers. Renfro joined Wisconsin via the transfer portal after three seasons (two active) with the Bearcats.
He’s expected to replace Joe Tippmann (NYJ) as the new center in Madison and will look to continue the success of his predecessor, opening large holes for running backs Braelon Allen and Chez Mellusi while protecting quarterback Tanner Mordecai.
