Wisconsin Badger freshman center Travis Frederick (Big Foot) is set to start for the injured John Moffit when the Badgers open their season Saturday night at home against Northern Illinois.
The 18-year old freshman will be just the fourth freshman to start on the offensive line in school history and the first since Cory Raymer started for the Badgers in 1991.
Frederick graduated from high school a semester early and took part in Wisconsin’s spring drills. Junior starter John Moffit is out with a strained pectoral muscle.
