3. Jonathan Taylor wins the Heisman Trophy

Even with Hornibrook and the receivers running rampant, Taylor will be the star of the show, as Chryst will stay true to Wisconsin’s roots. Everything Hornibrook does will be because of Taylor’s tremendous success on the ground in 2018.

Last year, he ran for 1977 yards, an FBS freshman record. Taylor will look to top the 2,000-yard mark during his sophomore campaign. And given the state of his offensive line, he should be able to do so.

Thanks to Taylor’s historic year in 2018, he will become the first Badger to win the Heisman Trophy since Ron Dayne, further cementing Wisconsin as the Running Back U. Taylor has all the abilities you look for in a lead back; patience, vision, strength, speed. The only question mark about his game is his ability to hold onto the football. Hopefully, he’s addressed that in the offseason and nips it in the bud. Get ready to witness greatness from Taylor.
