Badgers Depth Chart Shifts Week Three | Wisconsin Badgers Football News

Wisconsin Badgers’ Week 3 depth chart reveals major shifts, especially at running back where Abu Sama remains No. 1 but faces competition from Darrion Dupree and Bryan Jackson—both now co-No. 2s after Jackson dominated carries last game. Coaches are pushing for more downhill runs, and Dupree/Jackson’s style fits that better than Sama’s outside-heavy approach. QB Ryan Hopkins got some carries late last game, signaling a move up to backup behind Colton Joseph. Wideouts stay stable with Brooks, Hilton, and Henry leading, while Malachi Coleman (injured) is sidelined. Tight end Jacob Harris still starts, but backups Grant Stec and Emmett Bork are getting more reps. Defense sees heavy rotation: Hammond Russell and DeNigel Cooper lead the DL, Sebastian Cheeks dominates OLB, and Thomas Heiberger steps in at ILB. CBs Javan Robinson and Jai’mier Scott remain starters, though both got burned deep last week. Safeties Matt Jung and Marvin Burks anchor the unit, with Cairo Skanes rotating in. Depth charts keep evolving as players prove themselves—or face setbacks. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
