Indiana: Tegray Scales, LB

As we know, LB is a an annual position of strength for Wisconsin Football.  However, the Key & Peele named Tegray Scales is a tremendously efficient LB.  He led the Big Ten in 2016 with 126 total tackles (93 solo) averaging a robust 9.7 stops per game.  For the record, the 2nd highest solo tackle mark was 61.  Those 126 total tackles was good for 10th nationally and he led the nation in TFL with 23.5.   Finally, Scales also chipped in seven sacks for the Hoosier defense.  He was named a Sports Illustrated 2nd Team All America and 2nd Team All Big Ten.  In sum, Sacles is a complete LB and would make a deep talent pool even deeper at Wisconsin.
