One of Wisconsin's only pass-rushers over the past two seasons has been forced to leave the program due to repeated injuries to his foot.
Always unfortunate when someone's #Badgers career ends early. Best of luck to DE David Gilbert #greatkid go.wisc.edu/ghcg14

David Gilbert, the defensive end who would be moving to linebacker in the switch to the 3-4 this season, missed spring practice because of a recurrence of problems with his right foot and has now decided to call it quits because of this latest injury.
Gilbert finished tied for second on the team last season with four sacks and third in 2011 with three, despite only playing in four games due to problems with the same foot. Gilbert would have been turned loose in Aranada's 3-4 scheme as a pass-rusher until unfortunately, his problems returned.
Obviously, we wish Gilbert the best of luck in his future endeavors and hope he finds success in whatever he does.
