What stood out during Wisconsin football's 13th spring practice
The offense had its best day yet this spring, and a third-year player also brought quite the pressure in the backfield.
MADISON, Wis. — Grant Stec capped off the University of Wisconsin football team’s scrimmage with one of the offensive highlights of the spring.
Stec, a redshirt sophomore, leaped and snagged a Deuce Adams throw with one hand in the back of the end zone over linebacker Aaron Witt. Stec stayed in bounds on the field just north of Camp Randall Stadium to complete the reception for the late touchdown.
The Badgers offense has had it moments during spring ball that started in late March, but it feels like it’s found more of its footing this week. Saturday was its best day yet, highlighted by Stec’s stellar reception and other big plays.
There were drives of the first-team offense working against the second-team defense, and vice versa. The first-team offense scored on a Bryan Jackson II run during one series, but the second-team unit immediately found success thereafter against the first-team defense. Freshman quarterback Ryan Hopkins, who was running to his right, showed his arm talent by uncorking a dart across his body to wide receiver Jaylon Domingeaux in the middle of the field.
Domingeaux then outran the defense for a 50-yard touchdown. That was the first of two scores for the FCS transfer that included a receiving touchdown with the first-team offense against the 2s a few series later. The third-team offense also got in on the action, with running backs Mason Lane and Harrison Bortolotti taking it into the end zone.
Here are some other thoughts from the practice.
