The Wisconsin football program, believe it or not, is not commonly known for its production of wide receivers.
Tight ends are a different story. Wisconsin has sent Jake Ferguson, Troy Fumagalli, Owen Daniels, Travis Beckum and others on to the NFL level.
But Wisconsin is traditionally known for running the football and stopping the run, not necessarily for its high-level passing attack. That may change shortly with Phil Longo running the offense. But as of now, the Badgers are not a wide-receiver factory.
Still, there are some recent updates to the program’s all-time receiving yard leaderboard.
If you missed it, here is our updated list of Wisconsin’s all-time leading rushers and passers.
Now, Wisconsin’s all-time leaders in receiving yards:
