It was also learned that sophomore wide receiver Fred Willis quit the team but will remain in school.  Sophomore wide receiver Isaiah Williams and sophomore linebacker Cody Byers were not with the team but could return eventually. 

Bret Bielema didn’t specify the reason for the absence of the three players.  He declined comment when asked if there is a link between their absence and the recent fight involving UW players.
