That game means a return to the state of Wisconsin for former Badgers offensive lineman Tanor Bortolini.
The Colts selected Bortolini in the fourth round with the No. 117 pick of the 2024 NFL draft. His Wisconsin career finished after the 2023 season. It concluded with 27 starts for the Badgers over four years: 13 at center, 13 at left or right guard and one at tight end. He most recently started all 12 of the team’s games at center in 2023 and allowed one sack in 477 opportunities, according to PFF.
The former Badger enters his rookie season with the Colts likely as a backup at both guard positions. His versatility and athleticism should help him see the field for the Colts sooner rather than later.
