Tragic news as former Wisconsin Badgers football running back coach passed away at the age of 52. Players and co-workers took to twitter to express their sadness and grief over the news. Brown was the running backs coach for the Badgers during the 2021 season and had previously coached for the Dallas Cowboys. Demarco Murray was among many players that expressed his gratitude to his former coach. 

Wisconsin's official football recruiting twitter account announced the signing of several PWOs for the 2022 football class. While these players signed awhile ago, the official announcement allows us to dive into the film room and point out why this group of PWOs could be special. Specifically guys like Luna Larson, Cam Fane and Devin Magli look like potential steals for the football program. 

Locked On Badgers also takes a look at the former PWOs set to play big roles for this year's football team. The pipeline of PWOs is significant at Wisconsin and it gives the football program a considerable advantage. We look at John Torchio who may start this year in the secondary, Amaun Williams who is carving out a role for perhaps next year and Brady Schipper who might be the 3rd back this season.
