Lubern Figaro could have an impact on the secondary early in his career if he can make a splash in summer camp with his 4.5-second 40-yard dash speed. Wisconsin's secondary loses Dezmen Southward, but the competition should heat up with the starting safety spot opposite Michael Caputo open, as Leo Musso, Michael Trotter and Nate Hammon all will compete for extended playing time.
