5-Star tackle picks Wisconsin

September 9, 2020 By Bill Scott

Five-star offensive tackle Nolan Rucci from Lititz, Pennsylvania had his pick of the litter when it comes to college football programs.

Rucci had offers from Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Florida, Clemson, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan and Notre Dame and Wisconsin among others.  Rucci picked the Badgers.

Appearing on CBS Sports HQ, Rucci raved about Badger offensive line coach and offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph.

“I love how coach Rudy coaches his guys,” Rucci said.  “The development is obvious.  You can see the guys they are putting in the NFL.”

It also didn’t hurt that Rucci’s older brother Hayden, is a tight end at Wisconsin.  Nolan Rucci will be on campus for the 2021 season in Madison.

Badgers tight end position getting smaller

Two more Wisconsin tight ends dropped out of practice with injury.  The latest are Redshirt sophomore Jake Ferguson and freshman Hayden Rucci, both with left arm injuries.

Ferguson’s injury isn’t believed to be serious, but with the first game just over two weeks away (Aug. 30 at South Florida), the Badgers are definitely thin at the position.

Already lost are Gabe Loyd (season-ending leg injury) and Luke Benzschawel (right knee).  Only three healthy players remain at the position, freshman Clay Cundiff and redshirt freshmen Jack Eschenbach and Seth Currens, who just moved to tight end from linebacker.

The Badgers are also giving work to redshirt freshman Cormac Sampson who played tight end in high school but has moved to the offensive line with the Badgers.

Wisconsin does have veteran Zander Neuville returning after being granted a sixth year of eligibility.  But Neuville is working his way back into football shape and has yet to start practicing with the team.

Neuville suffered season ending knee injuries for the Badgers, each of the last two years.
