Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell has announced three more defensive hires to his staff with the Badgers.

Paul Haynes, Colin Hitschler and Greg Scruggs will join Fickell as he looks to turn around the program in Madison.

“I’m really excited about being able to add Paul, Colin and Greg,” Fickell said. “I have experience working with all three of them and they are tremendous coaches and people. They truly value the relationships with their players and will work diligently to help them develop both on and off the field.”

Haynes spent time with Fickell at Ohio State before heading to Minnesota to coach cornerbacks for 3 years.

Hitschler was at Fickell’s previous stop in Cincinnati since 2018, serving as the safety’s coach and added co-defensive coordinator to his list last season.

Scruggs comes from the NFL, where he spent a year as the Jets’ assistant defensive line coach. His connection to Fickell comes from coaching alongside him with the Bearcats as a player personnel coach for 2 years and defensive line coach for 2 years.
