The starting duo of Andrew Van Ginkel and Zack Baun didn't get off to a quick start, but both improved quite a bit as the season progressed for the Badgers. This spring, Baun will return for his final season, but position coach Bobby April have to replace Van Ginkel, arguably the top pass rusher on the roster. Three candidates seem most likely: Tyler Johnson, Christian Bell and Noah Burks. The younger talent at the position - Izayah Green-May, Mason Platter and Jaylan Franklin - will be joined by 2019 commits Spencer Lytle and Skyler Meyers. From those two, expectations are sky-high for Lytle, who is expected to be on campus this spring.
