Former Clemson running back
Chez Mellusi was named the starter on the opening depth chart at Wisconsin on Monday.
The former four-star prospect out of Naples, Florida announced he was transferring in April. He rushed for 427 yards and six touchdowns over 71 carries in 169 career snaps as a Tiger (21 games). No. 15 Wisconsin opens up hosting No. 19 Penn State on Saturday at noon (FOX). Mellusi beat out former top-150 prospect Jalen Berger, a sophomore who rushed for 301 yards and two TDs last season. Mellusi is a second Clemson transfer to the Big Ten to earn a starting job this month, joining Northwestern QB Hunter Johnson, who plays Friday at 9 p.m. against Michigan State (ESPN).
