Former Badgers TE Travis Beckum part of UW Athletics Hall of Fame class

A former Badgers TE will be inducted into the UW Athletics Hall of Fame this fall:

Last week, the University of Wisconsin announced it is inducting 11 new members into its Athletic Hall of Fame for the class of 2022.

The class will feature nine former UW athletes, one administration member, and a special service member.

Among the notable athletes who will enter the UW Hall of Fame this fall is former Badgers tight end Travis Beckum, who played for the program from 2005-08.

In 2007, Beckham earned first-team All-American and All-Big Ten honors after catching 75 passes for 982 yards and six touchdowns.

The former third-round NFL draft pick of the Giants still holds Wisconsin tight end records for receptions (159) and receiving yards (2,149).
