Kenny Guiton Reveals Front-Runner for Badgers WR3 Spot

Kenny Guiton shed some light on the new leader for the Badgers WR3 job.

The University of Wisconsin football team's wide receiver depth appears to be in good shape as the Badgers wrap up spring practice. 

With the return of All-Big Ten selection Will Pauling and redshirt freshman Trech Kekahuna, the Badgers boast a dynamic 1, 2 punch in the slot they can help build this offense around under position coach Kenny Guiton. 

"One thing we don't do is we don't say, 'Almost' in the room," Guiton told reporters. "We don't say, 'Oh, that was close.' It's either we got it done or we didn't. We're going to really take ownership of that and understand that the best ones are going to get the majority of that."

Bryson Green, who finished second on the Wisconsin football team last season with 480 receiving yards on 32 catches, is arguably their best downfield threat and will hold down one of the starting boundary spots.

Since Chimere Dike is no longer with the program, receivers like Vinny Anthony, C.J. Williams, Quincy Burroughs, and Michigan State transfer Tyrell Henry have been competing for the other starting job this spring.

With a solid group of pass-catching talent heading into 2024, Guiton believes the diverse skill sets in the Wisconsin football team's wide receiver room could pose challenges for opposing coordinators. However, Guiton acknowledged the need for strategic planning to ensure each player gets into the game and receives opportunities to contribute.
