Wisconsin (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten) will be without starting nose tackle Bryson Williams when they play Nebraska (4-5, 2-4) on Saturday. Williams, a native of Lincoln, Nebraska, had to leave the game against Iowa early because of a left leg injury.
This will mark the fourth game Williams will miss as he missed the other three games because of a leg injury. With Williams out for the game, true freshman Keeanu Benton will fill in for Williams.
Benton has done well for Wisconsin along the defensive line as he has appeared in eight games with five starts as the only game he hasn’t played in was against Illinois. On the year Benton has registered nine tackles (seven solo tackles), three tackles for loss, and one sack.
Williams was the only player to be listed as out for Wisconsin, but freshman cornerback Semar Melvin is listed as questionable after missing the Hawkeyes game.
