These 24 players will be honored during Wisconsin’s Senior Day festivities before Minnesota game

That group of seniors will be honored on Friday morning before the Badgers close their regular season against the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

One noteworthy inclusion is CB Ricardo Hallman, a redshirt junior with eligibility remaining. The consensus is he will enter the 2025 NFL draft after the season concludes.

Other players listed who still have eligibility remaining are Max Lofy, James Thompson Jr., Preston Zachman and Cade McDonald. They each could have a chance to return for another season, either at Wisconsin or elsewhere.

Some notable players not listed are DL Ben Barten, OLB Leon Lowery, C Jake Renfro and QB Tyler Van Dyke. All four are seniors but have eligibility remaining. Their omission does not guarantee anything, but could point toward each returning to the program in 2025.

Neither running back Chez Mellusi nor safety Kamo’i Latu are listed. Both players have been listed as ‘out’ for the majority of the season to date. Mellusi left the program in early-October.

Wisconsin and Minnesota will kick off at noon ET, 11 a.m. CT on Friday after the Senior Day festivities have concluded. It will then be worth monitoring the decisions of those upperclassmen who still have eligibility remaining.
