2025 Hall of Fame Feature: Travis Frederick

Travis Frederick still chuckles at the memory of his Wisconsin football coaches questioning the wisdom of his academic intentions.

Frederick was not only the first early enrollee of the Bret Bielema coaching tenure in 2009 – meaning he graduated from Walworth Big Foot High School a semester before the rest of his senior class in order to enroll at UW and begin his college football career – he came to the Badgers with grandiose plans of pursuing a double-major in computer science and computer engineering.
