Jalen Berger is primed to play a major role  in Wisconsin’s success this football season.

247Sports released a list of players in the B1G who need to step up for their teams to have success in 2021, and Wisconsin’s guy was the young running back. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

The popular sports publication wrote in part, “With his talent, Berger should be the top running back but he could be counted on a lot if quarterback Graham Mertz was a one hit wonder.”

First off, Mertz isn’t a one hit wonder and that’s just an absurd thing to put in print. I can’t wait to watch him dunk on all his critics starting in September.

You know who will play a big role in that? Jalen Berger. Berger is going to be our top running back and Chez Mellusi will likely be RB2.

Berger showed some huge flashes in 2020, and it’s clear he has all the skills necessary in order to be a monster star.

Now, it’s time to find out whether or not he can get the job done as the featured back, and I have no doubt he will. The young man is a rising star, and we all know what Wisconsin running backs do.

They dominate.

Trust me, folks. Berger is going to show up and show out in 2021. Doubt us if you want, but it will come back to bite you.
