The start of the Badger football season is now only 91 days away and we continue our countdown to the opener Sept. 2 against Buffalo at Camp Randall. Bryson Williams wore number 91 with Wisconsin, wrapping up his four-year collegiate career with the team’s 2021 Las Vegas Bowl win over Arizona State.

Williams was an interior defensive lineman from 2018-2021, recording 27 career tackles and a pass deflection. What makes him special is his story off the field.

After he was rejected from the Business School as a sophomore, Williams had to buckled down in class and he was admitted on his second attempt. He didn’t just relish in his admittance, he secured an internship with Morgan Stanley, the American multinational investment bank and financial services company.

Although his football career didn’t continue past 2021, the Lincoln, Nebraska native was hired out of school by Morgan Stanley and moved out to New York City.

Part of the reason why Williams chose Madison was because of the excellent Business School and he certainly took advantage of the academic advantages that UW provides.
