Didn’t think my vacation would start off the way it did, but I’m no longer a part of the Wisconsin State Journal.
Have a lot of emotions and thoughts. Right now I’m reflective and honestly sad, but still so proud for what I accomplished.

So, as a bit of a head’s up, y’all won’t be seeing much of me or covering the team this week.
My mom died early this AM. Heart aches sorely, brain still processing this loss.
Will always remember the love she gave to everyone and anyone, whether friend, family or stranger.

It obviously didn't work out on the field, but needs to be said that Braedyn Locke was great to speak with during his time with the Badgers. Whether it was a good or bad game, whether it was him not being named QB1 this year, he still talked to us reporters. It was appreciated.

Interesting that WR Eugene Hilton Jr. was wearing No. 13 in the below video. RB Darrion Dupree wore that last season.
FWIW — No. 6, which he wore in high school, would now be open with WR Will Pauling gone from the program.
