The Wisconsin Badgers return their top four wide receivers from the 2009
season, Nick Toon, Isaac Anderson, David Gilreath and Kyle Jefferson. But despite having three seniors and a fourth year junior at wideout, redshirt freshman Jared Abbrederis continues to impress in training camp and may find a role with the team.
Abbrederis was the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association firts team all-state quarterback in 2008, when he led Wautoma to a State Championship. As a high school senior, he threw for almost 17-hundred yards and 19 touchdowns and also ran for almost 15-hundred yards and 26 scores.
Abbrederis worked as a scout team quarterback last season, now he tries to make the switch to WR.
