  Former Green Bay Packers wide receivers coach Alvis Whitted has accepted the same position at Wisconsin. Wisconsin announced Wednesday that Whitted has joined Badgers coach Paul Chryst's staff. The Packers fired Whitted on Jan. 30 after one season. Whitted had been Colorado State's wide receivers coach for seven seasons before joining the Packers staff. During Whitted's stint at Colorado State, Rashard Higgins in 2014 and Michael Gallup in 2017 were finalists for the Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the nation's top college receiver. He played in the NFL from 1998-2006 with the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Oakland Raiders. - AP College Football

  The fastest running back in Indianapolis also measured in bigger than his two nearest competitors, J.K. Dobbins of Ohio State and D'Andre Swift of Georgia, to be the first runner selected. He outran Swift in the 40 (4.48) with a 4.39, and posted better numbers in the vertical jump and broad jump than Swift, too. An injured ankle, meanwhile, limited Dobbins to only the bench press. Dobbins had 23 reps compared with 17 for Taylor. - AP College Football

  2020 NFL COMBINE INVITE: Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin,...A two-time Doak Walker Award winner and two-time unanimous first-team All-American, Taylor will go down as one of the greats to ever play the position. He finished his career with 6,174 rushing yards and 55 total touchdowns to highlight a collection of accomplishments and records almost too long to list. The first player in FBS history to rush for 6,000 yards in just three seasons, Taylor stands No. 6 all-time in rushing with his 6,174 career yards. That total represents the FBS record for most yards in a three-year span - by a margin of more than 500 yards over the second-place total.

Taylor finished his junior season with 2,003 rushing yards to become just the third player in FBS history with multiple 2,000-yard rushing seasons, joining Badgers legend Ron Dayne and Iowa State's Troy Davis. Taylor is the only FBS player to record three consecutive seasons of 1,900-plus yards. His combined 4,197 yards over his sophomore and junior seasons are the most by any player in a two-year span in FBS history, breaking the previous mark of fellow Badger Melvin Gordon (4,196, 2013-14). - Wisconsin Football

  2020 NFL COMBINE INVITE: Quintez Cephus, WR, Wisconsin,...Returning to the field after not playing in 2018, Cephus made 59 catches for 901 yards and seven touchdowns this season, setting career highs and leading the Badgers in all three categories. He recorded strong performances down the stretch of the season, pulling in five catches for 114 yards and a touchdown at Minnesota to help UW clinch the Big Ten West Division title and then making seven grabs for 122 yards vs. Ohio State in the Big Ten Football Championship Game. He made another seven receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown vs. Oregon in the Rose Bowl. As a sophomore in 2017, Cephus caught 30 passes for 501 yards and six touchdowns before suffering a season-ending leg injury that forced him to miss the Badgers' final five games. The Macon, Georgia, native appeared in all 14 games as a freshman in 2016, making four catches for 94 yards. - Wisconsin Football

  2020 NFL COMBINE INVITE: Tyler Biadasz, C, Wisconsin,...A native of Amherst, Wisconsin, Biadasz played in all 41 games over the last three seasons, starting at center in each. Wisconsin's first winner of the Rimington Trophy as the nation's outstanding center, Biadasz this season became the 10th consensus All-America offensive lineman in school history, and the fifth to be named unanimous All-America, joining T Dan Lanphear (1959), T Chris McIntosh (1999), T Joe Thomas (2006) and T Gabe Carimi (2010). - Wisconsin Football

  Wisconsin is losing its top running back and now its top wide receiver to the NFL. Quintez Cephus announced Monday on Twitter and Instagram that he will skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft. "I'm excited to put my name in for the draft and to have a chance to play at the highest level,” Cephus said. The announcement came three days after record-setting junior tailback Jonathan Taylor announced his decision to enter the draft. The 6-foot-1, 207-pound Cephus led Wisconsin in receptions (59), receiving yards (901) and touchdown receptions (seven) in 2019. Cephus missed the final five games of the Badgers' 2017 campaign because of a broken right leg and did not play at all in 2018 after being expelled from school following sexual assault charges. Cephus was acquitted by a jury in August, reinstated by school officials and was ruled academically eligible for 2019. - AP College Football

  Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor is headed to the NFL. The record-setting junior announced Friday on Twitter and Instagram that he will forgo his senior season with the Badgers and enter the NFL draft. The two-time Doak Walker Award winner and two-time unanimous first-team All-American finished his college career with 6,174 yards rushing, the most by any player in FBS history through their junior season. Taylor also had 55 total touchdowns in his three seasons. The 5-foot-11, 214-pound Taylor looks to be the first Wisconsin tailback selected in the NFL draft since Montee Ball (2013), James White (2014) and Melvin Gordon (2015) were drafted in three consecutive seasons. Wisconsin's Derek Watt was selected as a fullback in 2016. - AP College Football

  The Ducks say they haven't seen anybody quite like linebacker Zack Baun, who leads the Badgers with 12 1/2 sacks and 19 1/2 tackles for loss. The relentless senior has disrupted entire offenses with his all-around play, and Herbert will have to be aware of his location on every snap against coordinator Jim Leonhard's versatile defense. - AP College Football

  2019 BIG TEN AMECHE-DAYNE RUNNING BACK OF THE YEAR (COACHES): Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin,...Junior running back Jonathan Taylor, who has rushed for more yards than any other FBS running back has ever rushed through their junior season, was named the Big Ten Ameche-Dayne Running Back of the Year on Wednesday. This is the second time that Taylor has been awarded as the conference's Running Back of the year, which is named for former UW running backs Alan Ameche and Ron Dayne. So far this season, Taylor has rushed for 1761 yards and 20 touchdowns. He also has more than 200 receiving yards and 5 touchdown receptions.

  Jack Coan delivered two momentum-shifting touchdown passes in the snow for No. 13 Wisconsin, Jonathan Taylor added three touchdowns to his FBS-leading total and the Badgers forcefully repossessed Paul Bunyan's Axe by beating No. 9 Minnesota 38-17 on Saturday to win the Big Ten West Division. Quintez Cephus caught five passes for 114 yards, including a 47-yarder for a score midway through the third quarter that gave Wisconsin (10-2, 7-2, No. 12 CFP) a 17-7 lead. Coan connected with Taylor for a 28-yard touchdown strike late in the second quarter that gave the Badgers the lead after a slow start, sending them to the Big Ten championship game for a rematch with second-ranked Ohio State.

Tanner Morgan passed for 296 yards and two touchdowns for the Gophers (10-2, 7-2). They watched their dream season take a painful hit from their oldest rival after ending a 14-game losing streak to the Badgers a year ago with a 37-15 victory at Wisconsin. Minnesota was seeking to go undefeated at home for the first time since 1954, but the Badgers reasserted their recent dominance by taking home the traveling trophy for the 22nd time in the last 25 seasons. They took a 61-60-8 series lead. - Wisconsin/AP College Football

  2019 OUTLAND TROPHY FINALIST: Tyler Biadasz, C, Wisconsin (6-3, 321, Jr., Amherst, Wis.): Biadasz is the latest of outstanding Wisconsin linemen paving the way for record-setting running backs. This season Biadasz has been up front as Johnathan Taylor has become the nation's leading scorer (22 TD's) and following a 222-yard effort last week against Purdue, is now the Big Ten's second all-time leading rusher. Taylor now owns the FBS record for most rushing yards in a three-year span (5,856), which also marks Biadasz's starting tenure of 38 consecutive starts. The Badgers rushed for a season-high 403 yards against Purdue and finished with a season-high 606 total yards, its highest output since 2014. Biadasz is also strong in pass protection where the line he commands has the Badgers completing 73.5 percent of their passes, third nationally. - FWAA

  Wisconsin's Zach Hintze kicked the longest field goal in the nation this season, sneaking the ball inside the left upright for a school-record 62-yarder as time expired in the first half against Purdue. It was the longest field goal since UTEP's Jose Martinez made a 64-yarder against Central Florida in 2008. Hintze is the Badgers' kickoff man and had not attempted a field goal this season until Saturday. His only other attempt was last year, a 62-yarder he missed. Elsewhere, Wake Forest's Nick Sciba kicked four field goals against Duke to give him 32 consecutive made field goals, breaking the NCAA record of 30 by Chuck Nelson of Washington in 1981-82. - AP College Football
