After uncharacteristic struggles in the run game last season, Wisconsin football has retooled the room for 2021. One of the main additions is Clemson transfer Chez Mellusi, who chose the Badgers on June 1 after taking a visit to Madison.
Mellusi spent a pair of seasons with Clemson, totaling 427 rushing yards and six touchdowns in a complementary backup role. The Florida native has three years of collegiate eligibility remaining.
The speedy former four-star recruit wore number 27 during his time at Clemson but has chosen a new number at his second stop. Mellusi will wear number 6 as a Wisconsin Badger and today he posted a picture in his new jersey on Twitter:
