Former Clemson Tiger Named Starting Running Back for Wisconsin

After deciding to leave the Tigers after spring practice due to a crowded running back room, Mellusi transferred to Wisconsin. On Monday, he was listed as the first-team back on the Badgers depth chart heading into their opener against Penn State.
