The Badgers’ starters at linebacker Saturday will be junior Maema Njongmeta and sophomore Jordan Turner.
Coaches say consistency is why those two stood out from the field competing for the starting positions.
Players like sophomore Jake Chaney, junior Tatum Grass, and redshirt freshman Bryan Sanborn figure to get plenty of snaps.
Njongmeta showed promise as a freshman but missed some time with a heart condition and a sports hernia.
He played in six games last season.
