Former Wisconsin and current Indiana offensive tackle Trey Wedig accepted an invitation to play in the 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl on Thursday.
The UW alumnus, who last played in Indiana’s College Football Playoff loss to Notre Dame, is among nearly 100 of college football’s most prolific upperclassmen to accept an invitation to the contest. In 2024, Wedig proved to be one of PFF’s highest-graded tackles in the Big Ten and helped the Hoosiers’ offensive line earn a nod as a finalist for the 2024 Joe Moore Award.
Before his stint at Indiana, Wedig appeared in 35 career games over four seasons at Wisconsin. He showcased his versatility throughout his tenure, especially during the 2022 campaign when he started five games at right tackle, two at right guard and one at left guard.
Wedig elected to transfer following the 2023 season as the Badgers returned established starters Jack Nelson (left tackle) and Riley Mahlman (right tackle). The move paid off. Wedig had a career year in 2024 and will now play tackle in front of hundreds of scouts in one of the most prestigious All-Star games of the college football postseason, working to raise his stock before the 2025 NFL draft.
