Justin Wilcox
The University of Wisconsin announced Thursday that Justin Wilcox has been hired as the Badgers new defensive coordinator, pending approval by the UW Board of Regents.
The 39-year-old Wilcox replaces Dave Aranda, who left after the Holiday Bowl to run LSU’s defense.
Wilcox was among four assistants fired at USC by head coach Clay Helton after the Trojans suffered a 41-22 loss to Stanford in the Pac-12 title game.
Wilcox has been a defensive coordinator for 10 seasons, spending time with Boise State, Tennessee, Washington and USC.
