The CFB season is almost on us and Luke Fickell and his Badgers are now 43 days away from their 2023 season opener versus Buffalo on Sept. 2.

The college football season is almost on us and Luke Fickell and his Badgers are now 43 days away from their 2023 opener versus Buffalo on Sept. 2. Also approaching their own football campaign is former Badger offensive lineman Joe Tippmann, who was selected in the second round (43rd overall) of the 2023 NFL Draft by the New York Jets.

Tippmann spent four seasons with the Badgers from 2019-2022 and he will now look to become the next star offensive lineman to come out of Wisconsin and excel at the NFL level.

He’s expected to open the 2023 campaign as the backup to Connor McGovern at center in New York, though he could earn a starting role if he impresses at camp and in the preseason.
