Over the last few weeks the Wisconsin football program has seen some of their seniors opt to enter the NFL draft and others in the class choose to return to Madison next year, using their extra year of eligibility.
Today an important player to the Badgers’ success decided to return for 2021, as starting cornerback Caesar Williams announced via Twitter his decision to stay.

The senior cornerback has started 20 games for the Badgers in the last three seasons, recording 72 tackles, 6 tackles-for-loss, 2 interceptions, 14 passes defended and 1 forced fumble.
His return is significant news for the Badger defense, as the cornerback position was shaping up to be a young one next year.
