The two-year starter is one of two Wisconsin starting linemen off to the NFL after the 2024 season, joining left tackle Jack Nelson.

Huber transferred to the Badgers before the 2023 season after three years at Cincinnati, one as its starting right tackle. With Riley Mahlman entrenched at the position and Nelson set at left tackle, Huber’s path to playing time was along the interior.
He started all 25 games at right guard for the Badgers during his two years with the program. His strong play at the position was rewarded with being named to the All-Big Ten Third Team (coaches). For reference, Huber was the only Badger to land on an all-conference team after the 2024 season.
The accomplished lineman is currently projected to be signed as an undrafted free agent after the upcoming draft. He’ll have plenty of opportunities to change that standing, starting with the East-West Shrine Bowl on Jan. 30.
