We are only a few days away from Wisconsin kicking off its 2024 campaign against Western Michigan. That means we also have an official two-deep depth chart to break down before Friday night.

Offense

There are very few surprises on the offensive side of the ball. It's worth noting that star freshman Kevin Heywood has officially worked his way onto the two-deep, but, Boston College transfer WR Joseph Griffin Jr. is not listed and it looks like Vinny Anthony II and CJ Williams will compete for the WR3 role after Will Pauling and Bryson Green.

Defense

Defensively, the biggest surprise might be Stephen F. Austin transfer defensive lineman Brandon Lane being left out of the top four at his position. True freshman Xavier Lucas has made his way onto the two-deep, but there are not many other shockers to find.

Special teams

We will get our first look at the 2024-25 Wisconsin Badgers on Friday as they host Western Michigan at 8 p.m. CT in their first game of the season.
