Badgers’ LB Cichy out again

August 10, 2017

Hard-luck Badgers’ LB Cichy to miss year with ACL … Wisconsin has announced that senior LB Jack Cichy will miss the entire 2017 season after tearing an ACL in practice earlier this week. Cichy will undergo surgery tomorrow. Cichy already had missed much of the 2016 season with a shoulder injury. Cichy has already used his redshirt year, but could apply for a 6th year of eligibility on medical hardship rounds. A former undersized walk-on, Cichy has bulked up to the 235-pound range and emerged as a productive ILB who was leading the Badgers in tackles at the time of his injury last fall; he was also named to all the major defensive watch lists prior to this year.
