Two Wisconsin Badgers break 21 MPH in latest ‘Need for Speed’ ranking

On Monday afternoon, Wisconsin football’s head strength and conditioning coach, Brady Collins’,  released his third ‘Need for Speed’ ranking of the fastest Badgers’ players from this past week.

Several of last year’s starters made Collins’ list, including wide receiver Skyler Bell and safety Kamo’i Latu. Although Latu did not quite hit 21 MPH with a speed of 20.99 MPH, he ranked in the top three this week behind receivers Will Pauling and Keontez Lewis.

Lewis was the fastest player in this week’s list with a blazing-fast speed of 21.7 MPH. This was the highest speed in Collins’ rankings since WR Will Pauling recorded 21.35 MPH last week. It should be exciting to see what Lewis can do in his second year with the Badgers after transferring from UCLA last season.

It is great to see the progress that Wisconsin players are making in their first winter conditioning program under Collins and head coach Luke Fickell.
