The return of Badger football is now 79 days away as Luke Fickell and his squad launch their 2023 campaign Sept. 2 versus Buffalo at Camp Randall. Former Wisconsin offensive lineman Rob Havenstein wears number 79 for the Los Angeles Rams and he’s looking for a rebound year.
Havenstein spent the 2010-2014 seasons as a member of the Badgers and he was a part of Wisconsin’s three-year run of making the Rose Bowl from 2011-2013. The offensive tackle went on to be selected in the second round (57th overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams (now Los Angeles).
He remains with the organization and was their starting right tackle when they won the 2022 Super Bowl over the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20. The team finished the year with a 12-5 regular season record and won their first championship since moving to LA in 2016.
Havenstein and the Rams struggled to remain healthy and effective last season, finishing the year with a disappointing 5-12 record. The squad will look to rebound in 2023.
