MADISON, WI (WSAU) – The Wisconsin Badgers’ top offensive lineman this past season is moving on to the NFL.
According to a post on his X account, offensive tackle and Stoughton native Jack Nelson announced his decision on his future saying, “It’s been an honor and a privilege to be a Badger. Words cannot express how much I love this program, the city of Madison, and the state of Wisconsin…I look forward to the future of the Wisconsin Badgers and am proud to represent UW as I begin the next chapter of preparing for the NFL draft. As I move forward to my new challenge, I will always be a Badger. On Wisconsin.”
After serving as the Badgers right guard in 2021, he started at left tackle in 2022 and 2024. He made 50 career starts in total during his four seasons in Madison. Among his achievements are his 2021, 2022, and 2024 All-Big Ten honorable mention selections.
