Wisconsin Badgers football defensive backs preview, can Jay Shaw and Alexander Smith be a great duo?

Jay Shaw and Alexander Smith anchor what could be the deepest group of cornerbacks in the Paul Chryst and Jim Leonard era. The Badgers staff did an incredible job in the transfer portal this off-season brining in Jay Shaw, Cedrick Dort and Justin Clark to help bolster what would have been a depleted group of defensive backs. Specifically Jay Shaw the UCLA transfer might have a huge impact with his experience, size and athletic ability.

Next we talk about the duo at safety with veteran John Torchio and youngster Hunter Wholer ready to step into his sizeable expecations as the former 4* safety looks to deliver on the promise. We discuss if Torchio is the ideal running-mater for Wholer and what could make or break this safety group this season.

Finally on Locked On Badgers we grade the group for this season and for the upcoming years. Justin is very high on this group and delivers a B+ grade for this season, I'm a little lower as I don't fully trust the safety depth. Looking into the future we discuss the potential of young corners Jace Arnold and Ayvonne Jones - both high-upside young players.
