Ricky Finco brings veteran polish and special-teams spark to Wisconsin
In the 2016 season, Ricky Finco was a 5-foot-8, 188-pound sophomore who earned his first letter by appearing in 12 games primarily on special teams, including a 15-yard punt return against Akron that helped set up a touchdown drive[1]. His best traits are quickness, toughness, and veteran football instincts—he was a top-20 recruit in Wisconsin coming out of Arrowhead, where he posted 1,015 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns as a senior[1]. He looks like a useful fit for a roster that values dependable, high-effort role players who can create hidden-yardage plays[1].
