Jonathan Taylor continues to shine for No. 5 Wisconsin
2017 U-19 National Team alum Jonathan Taylor has taken college football by storm this season.
The true freshman has been a standout all season, and Saturday's 24-10 Badger victory over Michigan was no different for Taylor.
Taylor rushed for 132 yards on 19 carries. Taylor earned co-freshmen of the week Big Ten honors.
This is Taylor's seventh Big Ten Freshman of the Week award, which now ties him most in conference history alongside Ohio State's J.T. Barrett (2014) according to Big Ten.
