UW football: Transfer Wilson found familiar face in former chancellor Martin

It?s not terribly unusual when the University of Wisconsin chancellor crosses paths with a prospective student-athlete visiting the Madison campus. It?s been known to happen when recruits, regardless of sport, attend high-profile games at Camp Randall Stadium, the Kohl Center or the UW Field House. If the chancellor is on hand, introductions invariably come to life. But when high-profile quarterback Russell Wilson came to Madison in June to check out the Badgers football program, he didn?t just shake hands with UW chancellor Biddy Martin. He actually stopped by her Bascom Hall office, shared a hug and exchanged friendly small talk.
