A Closer Look at Marty Strey in the Wisconsin Football WI(red) Series

If you're a dedicated follower of Wisconsin Badgers football, then you're probably already a fan of the Wisconsin Football WI(red) series. The YouTube series offers a behind-the-scenes look at the team's players, capturing candid moments during practice. The spotlight of the latest episode is on Marty Strey, the Sun Prairie, Wisconsin native and outside linebacker who first stepped onto the UW field in 2018.

Classic Rock and Wisconsin Football: A Perfect Blend

One thing that caught the attention of viewers in this episode was Strey's affinity for classic rock, particularly Guns N' Roses. Not only does he express his love for the genre, but he also offers a pretty quick yet funny air-guitar performance while singing along to "Welcome to the Jungle." 

The Worst Singer on the Team?

One of the lighter moments of the episode came when Strey playfully declared inside linebacker Maema Njongmeta as the worst singer on the team. It's always amusing to see players take jabs at each other, offering fans a glimpse into the camaraderie that exists within the Badgers' teammates.

The Brett Favre Moment

Arguably the best moment of the episode was Strey's impersonation of NFL great Brett Favre. Imitating the legendary quarterback with the classic line, "Put'er in the old vise". A moment like this makes the WI(red) series a must-watch and shows that Strey has got some comedic flair.

The Wisconsin Football WI(red) series is a unique platform that gives fans a peek into the players' personalities, something we can't get just from watching the games or reading stats. This Marty Strey episode is a perfect example—it's not just about tackles and touchdowns; it's about getting to know the guy under the helmet.

If you're a Badger at heart, the Wisconsin Football WI(red) series is your VIP ticket to the team's behind-the-scenes.
