Wisconsin sophomore left tackle Kevin Heywood will miss the 2025 season after suffering an ACL injury, head coach Luke Fickell announced Tuesday.
The 6-foot-8, 325-pound lineman was expected to take over for Jack Nelson, a four-year starter and likely late-round NFL Draft pick.
A four-star recruit in the 2024 class, Heywood was ranked No. 50 nationally, No. 4 among offensive tackles, and the top prospect in Pennsylvania by 247Sports.
As a freshman, Heywood played in all 12 games for the Badgers, primarily contributing on special teams.
