Wisconsin All-American center Tyler Biadasz announced Wednesday on Twitter he is skipping his final season to enter the 2020 NFL Draft.
ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has the Badgers’ 6-foot-3, 320-pound junior ranked as his No. 1 center in the draft pool, ahead of Oklahoma’s Creed Humphrey and Temple’s Matt Hennessy.
“The last three years have been more than a dream. They’ve been very touching in my heart and they’ve been very special to me,” Biadasz said in a video. “It’s hard to say goodbye to such a great program like Wisconsin and for all the experiences with so many great people there.”
Biadasz was a freshman All-American in 2017 and a consensus All-Big Ten first-team selection in 2018. In addition to All-America honors, he won the Rimington Trophy as the nation’s top center in 2019.
He started 41 consecutive games for the Badgers, finishing his career with a New Year’s Day loss to Oregon in the Rose Bowl.
