Former in-state walk-on Josh Seltzner has chosen not return to UW for his additional season of eligibility. Instead, Seltzner will be pursuing an NFL career after a memorable final season at Wisconsin.
Josh Seltzner entered fall camp with no assurances of a starting spot. He was in a position battle with fellow interior offensive lineman Cormac Sampson and Michael Furtney. Seltzner ultimately wound up winning the job and starting 11 of Wisconsin’s 12 games at left guard.
Seltzner became one of Wisconsin’s most dependable lineman. and helped provide stability to an offensive line that struggled early in the season. Most notably, Josh Seltzner didn’t allow a single sack in 244 total pass blocking snaps, while allowing just 9 total pressures on the season.
Overall, you couldn’t have asked for a better season from the former walk-on. His on-field performance garnered national recognition and was ultimately recognized by being named a third-team All-American, as well as First-team All-Big Ten.
