“I don’t think that he’s changed a ton, and I don’t think he’s going to,” Chryst said of Coan’s mindset this offseason. “But I think all those around him have. I think what he did and how he finished the year spoke volumes to the guys. You have to absolutely believe that he does feel more confident.”

Badgers running back Jonathan Taylor recognized as Big Ten preseason honoree A media panel selected the list, which includes five players from each division. A different group of 34 media members voted Taylor as the Big Ten Preseason Offensive Player of the Year on Wednesday in Cleveland.com's annual preseason poll.

While those outside the program won’t learn the specifics of this fall’s quarterback competition right away, Chryst and his staff have anticipated how it may shape up as the season nears.

“I’ve got a pretty good idea,” Chryst said. “You come out of spring and you’ve got an idea, but you’ve got to look for confirmation of it I think in those first five practices. Then you go and get into it. The way we’re set up, we can still get them a ton of work, all of them, but obviously it’s going to change. And when they’re getting their work in camp, we’ll play off it a little bit.”

Bruss to start camp at tackle

Chryst said sophomore Logan Bruss will begin fall camp at tackle.

Bruss took reps at both guard and tackle during spring practice. He started the final three games of last season at right tackle and is likely the favorite to earn a starting job at that spot this year.
