After that season, Watt transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After being redshirted for the 2008 season, he debuted for the Badgers as a defensive end in 2009. Watt showed potential immediately, putting up 4.5 sacks in 13 games for a team that would make the Champs Sports Bowl and defeat Miami.

Wisconsin football coach Paul Chryst said on Wednesday that there’s still eligibility issues remaining and no timeline is set for when Cephus will be able to play in a game. When asked by a reporter as to whether school credits was part of the issue, he answered, “Yeah it’s that. I think it’s along those lines.”

He just went through a year in which we was falsely accused of sexual assault. Quintez feels strongly about victims – real victims of sexual assault, but I just don’t think that’s an appropriate question for him.”

Cephus was expelled after the 2018 fall semester after an investigation determined he had violated the school’s non-academic misconduct code.

The UW Polo Club team hosted their annual Badger State Polo Cup on Saturday at the Alliant Energy Center to help fundraise for their club and the Wisconsin Large Animal Emergency Response (WLAER).

If the matter isn’t resolved quickly, UW’s players and coaches could enter the 2019 season worrying about Cephus and his fate once more.
