The Los Angeles Rams named former Wisconsin Badgers offensive tackle Rob Havenstein as one of its team captains for the 2024 season on Aug. 28.
The Mount Airy, Maryland native is one of the Rams five captains this year, alongside defensive back Quentin Lake, wide receiver Cooper Kupp, quarterback Matthew Stafford and nose tackle Kobie Turner.
This is the third straight season that Havenstein will wear the capital “C” on his jersey. He also joins outside linebacker T.J. Watt (Steelers), quarterback Russell Wilson (Steelers), running back Jonathan Taylor (Colts), linebacker T.J. Edwards (Bears) and fullback Alec Ingold (Dolphins) as current Wisconsin alumnus in the NFL to earn the recognition ahead of the 2024 season.
Havenstein was a First-Team All-America selection with the Badgers in 2014. He played for the program from 2010-14, matching a school record with 54 career games. He also helped the Badgers set a school record for total offense at 480.8 yards per game during his fourth season in Madison in 2013.

This will mark Havenstein’s tenth NFL campaign with the Rams after being selected No. 57 overall in the 2015 NFL draft. Following the franchise’s transition to the California, he reeled in a championship ring under Sean McVay’s tutelage during the team’s 2021 Super Bowl winning season.
Outside of playing only nine games in 2019, Havenstein has been a dependable member of the Rams offensive line. He has not appeared in fewer than 14 games since his rookie year in 2015.
