QUARTERBACKS

The skinny: The entire quarterback room - Jack Coan, Danny Vanden Boom, Chase Wolf and Graham Mertz - returned this spring, with preferred walk-on Daniel Wright arriving next week. And while Coan, who had a strong junior season, will enter camp as the starter, he will be pushed by Mertz and Wolf.

Keep an eye on: Graham Mertz - Eyes will continue to be on Mertz, who emerged as the No. 2 QB last fall.

RUNNING BACKS

The skinny: Wisconsin began the post-Jonathan Taylor era this off-season, but we didn't get to see how the group looked this spring. Garrett Groshek returns as the veteran of this unit, with Nakia Watson expected to step into a much larger role in 2020. Fans also saw a bit of Isaac Guerendo in the Rose Bowl against Oregon. At fullback, Mason Stokke, John Chenal and Quan Easterling all return.

Keep an eye on: Nakia Watson - We didn't see a ton of Watson in 2019, but he could be the feature back next fall with Taylor now in the NFL.
