EVANSTON, ILLINOIS – Brady Collins kept his word.

The Wisconsin football team’s strength and conditioning coordinator said if the Badgers beat Northwestern on Saturday, he would jump into Lake Michigan.

After Wisconsin defeated the Wildcats 23-3 on Saturday to improve to 5-2, Collins did just that.

“I loved it,” said safety hunter Wohler. “This is Coach Brady. He brings that energy and juice every day. He told us during the week, ‘If we win, I’ll jump into the lake,’ and he kept his promise.”

As his team walked along the shores of Lake Michigan in front of the Lanny and Sharon Martin track and field facility, which will be the temporary home of the Northwestern football team for the next two years while the new Ryan Field is built, Collins took a slight detour.

He climbed down a steep rocky slope to get to the water.

His players could be heard encouraging him in a video posted to the official Badgers Football Twitter account.

However, it didn’t seem like he needed much convincing. After finding a spot he liked and probably the safest around the rocks, he took the plunge.

“Coach Brady, he’s the foundation of everything we do, especially in the weight room,” quarterback Braedyn Locke said. “He brings energy and intensity every day.” We all love Coach Brady and he loves us all.

Collins waved his arms in the water to get his players excited in front of the crowd. The players then burst into cheers.

The mood right now is good for the Badgers, who won their third straight game on Saturday and have outscored their last three opponents by a combined score of 114-16.
