Step one of camp is the team’s local media day on Monday afternoon. Head coach Luke Fickell met with the assembled media and discussed the state of the team entering the fall period. He was followed by defensive coordinator Mike Tressel and offensive coordinator Phil Longo.
Wisconsin also released an updated training camp roster that includes the spring transfer additions, incoming freshmen and updated heights and weights for every player.
