## Resource

Wisconsin’s defense is poised to make waves this season, especially in the secondary, with several under-the-radar stars ready to explode. Dillan Johnson, a wrestling prodigy with elite athleticism, is set to see major snaps as the fourth defensive lineman. Nick Clayton, a sophomore linebacker with freakish pass-rush instincts, could push for the third spot. Jon Jon Kamara, the versatile inside linebacker, is giving coaches flexibility with his speed and range. At cornerback, Cai Bates is primed as a key backup, while transfer safety Carson Van Dinter brings explosive tackling and run support—despite needing polish in coverage—he’s already a breakout candidate at safety.
