Wisconsin left tackle Kevin Heywood will miss the 2025 season with an ACL injury, Badgers coach Luke Fickell said on Tuesday.
The 6-foot-8, 325-pound sophomore had been in line to replace Jack Nelson, a four-year starter and projected late-round pick in the upcoming NFL draft.
Heywood was a four-star recruit in the 2024 class, ranked No. 50 in the nation, No. 4 at his position and No. 1 in Pennsylvania by 247Sports.
Heywood appeared in all 12 games for the Badgers as a freshman last season, mostly on special teams.
