His brother, Beau, moved up the depth chart in 2015 and started at both right guard and right tackle for the Wisconsin Badgers. Now, Luke Benzschawel will get his opportunity to join his brother in the Wisconsin football family, but apparently on the defensive side of the ball.
Benzschawel projects to be a defensive lineman for Justin Wilcox's defense. As seen in the Hudl video below, the 6'7 lineman shows off some agile athleticism and can move off the ball (his Hudl profile quotes his 40-yard time as 4.90).
