A really great story about one of Wisconsin's captains was just posted to the Cap Times website. It's about Ben Strickland, a special teams standout and defensive back reserve, and written and reported by Jim Polzin.
Basically, the kid gave up his scholarship so that one of his best friends, long snapper Steve Johnson, could have one. He works in facilities maintenance to pay for school. He's an academic all-Big Ten choice. And he works with special ed kids.
If Will turns out to be half the young man Mr. Strickland is, we'll be pretty happy.
Give it a read, and if you feel like commenting, please do it after the end of Jim's story, not here.
