Two Wisconsin Badgers accept 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl invitations

Wisconsin Badgers safety Hunter Worker and offensive lineman Jack Nelson accepted invitations to the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl on Wednesday.

Wohler and Nelson are among 72 players to accept invitations as of Dec. 4. Serving as somewhat of a post-season college football all-star game, the Senior Bowl aims to showcase NFL Draft prospects who have finalized their college eligibility. NFL Network will broadcast the battle this winter, which takes place on Feb. 1 in Mobile, Alabama.

The number of senior bowl commitments typically creeps up to around 110, but the list is loaded thus far. The most notable names include Ohio State quarterback Will Howard, Michigan running back Kalel Mullings, Miami wide receiver Xavier Restrepo and Oregon wide receiver Tez Johnson.

Both Wohler and Nelson were included in the 2025 Senior Bowl watch list in late August alongside 11 other Badgers. That list included quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, wide receiver Will Pauling, running Chez Mellusi, linebacker Jaheim Thomas, outside linebacker John Pius, defensive lineman James Thompson Jr., defensive back RJ Delancy III, cornerback Ricardo Hallman and offensive linemen Joe Huber and Riley Mahlman.

Following his 120-tackle, First team All-Big Ten season in 2023, Wohler tallied 71 total tackles and six pass deflections in 2024. He surpassed 200 career tackles as a Badger earlier this season. He’s currently considered a fringe top-20 safety prospect for the 2025 NFL draft.

Nelson, meanwhile, has played all 12 games for Wisconsin in 2024. He finished his collegiate career with 50 starts — 37 at left tackle, 13 at right guard. He projects to be a Day 3 selection in April’s draft.
