Wisconsin’s Minnesota-week depth chart sees new No. 1 punt and kick returners
The fireworks came early during Wisconsin’s 35-28 victory over Nebraska Saturday, as kick returner Stephan Bracey returned after tearing his quad a year ago and took the opening kickoff home for a touchdown.
Wisconsin had rotated kick returners after wide receiver Devin Chandler entered the transfer portal a few weeks ago. Bracey’s emergence gives the team a clear answer at the position—and a special teams threat the team hasn’t had since Aron Cruickshank returned kicks in 2019.

Well, Bracey is unsurprisingly now listed as the No. 1 kick returner on Wisconsin’s depth chart. Along with that change, cornerback Dean Engram is now the team’s No. 1 punt returner.
