Wisconsin football seniors 2021 roster decision tracker

Soon Wisconsin football seniors will decide whether to return to school and use their extra year of eligibility or enter the NFL Draft

In the wake of the challenging year that 2020 has been on many fronts, the NCAA chose to grant an extra year of eligibility to both fall and winter athletes.

Here is a tracker of the decisions made by the Wisconsin senior class:
