14 Wisconsin Badgers crack Shrine Bowl preseason watch list

14 Wisconsin Badgers cracked the Shrine Bowl preseason watch list entering the 2024 football season.

With roughly one month remaining until Wisconsin begins its 2024 campaign, college football outlets have begun to craft preseason rankings and hierarchies for the fall slate.

One of those projections, the East-West Shrine Bowl watch list, includes hundreds of the most promising players across the nation.

The college all-star game allows the next generation of professional athletes to display their skill sets before all 32 NFL teams’ coaches, scouts and executives.

The 14 Wisconsin Badgers who cracked the watch list were: RB Jackson Acker, CB Ricardo Hallman, OL Joe Huber, OL Riley Mailman, RB Chez Mellusi, OL Jack Nelson, WR Will Pauling, OLB Darryl Peterson, OLB John Pius, OL Jake Renfro, LB Jaheim Thomas, DL James Thompson Jr., QB Tyler Van Dyke and S Hunter Wohler.

Since 1925, the East-West Shrine Bowl has helped support Shriner’s Children’s Hospital in its efforts to care for children with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate.

Staged in Dallas, Texas, January’s Shrine Bowl game will be the 100th installment of the event.
