Darrion Dupree News, Rumors, Updates - Wisconsin Badgers

Scores first career TD in Week 7 Dupree recorded 10 rushes for 26 yards and one touchdown and gathered in all two targets for 20 yards during Saturday's 42-7 win against Rutgers.

Impact Dupree served as the Badgers' No. 2 running back behind fifth-year senior Tawee Walker for the second week in a row. The true freshman logged his first career rushing touchdown with a two-yard score early in the third quarter. His production still paled in comparison to Walker, who tallied 24 carries for a career-high 198 rushing yards and three scores on the ground. Dupree also still logged two catches on two targets for the second game in a row. However, it doesn't seem likely that he'll get a ton of opportunities given Walker's increased workload over the past two games.

Sees the field again Week 6 Dupree totaled seven carries for 24 yards and gathered in both of his targets for 23 yards during Saturday's 52-6 win over Purdue.

Impact Dupree logged at least six carries for the third time in the last four games. While all three of these outings came in either blowout wins or losses for the Badgers, Dupree looked like he actually climbed the depth chart Week 6, as he and fellow true freshman Gideon Ituka logged two more carries than redshirt junior Cade Yacamelli. Fifth-year senior Tawee Walker led the team with 19 carries after previous co-starter Chez Mellusi left the program this week to focus on rehabbing from lingering injuries. Duepree's additional value as a pass-catcher could vault him into the RB3 or even RB2 role moving forward.
