When Wisconsin meets Rutgers on Saturday afternoon, the Scarlet Knights hope to have a familiar face leading the way offensively.

Wisconsin transfer Aron Cruickshank went to Rutgers following the 2019 season, and has since become a significant part of the Scarlet Knights’ offense and special teams units. The former Badger has 20 catches for 244 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the year.

Those numbers come without him taking the field since an Oct. 3 loss to Michigan State. Is he ready to go this weekend? Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano was vague at best in his answer on Monday:

“I don’t know about Aron. That’s going to be close,” Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano told reporters on Monday.

“I know he wants to. He’s been trying to but you know, there’s a difference between want to and physically able and we’re never going to put a guy out there and risk their health. If they’re not, they’re not ready to go.”
