Former Wisconsin offensive lineman Trey Wedig finished the 2024 season among ProFootballFocus’ highest-graded players at his position.
Wedig, who is slated to play in the coveted East-West Shrine Bowl on Jan. 30, received an 85.7 PFF grade. Only Utah’s Spencer Fano (92.8), Missouri’s Wyatt Milum (91.7), Missouri’s Armand Membou (90.4), Iowa’s Gennings Dunker (90.2), Texas’ Kelvin Banks Jr. (88.0) and Rutgers’ Hollin Pierce (86.4) earned higher marks than the former Badger.
Wedig and fellow Wisconsin transfer Drew Evans were big parts of an Indiana offensive line that was named a finalist for the 2024 Joe Moore Award. Bob Bostad, Wisconsin’s longtime inside linebackers and offensive line coach, coaches the position for Indiana.
Before transferring to Indiana, Wedig played in 35 career games over four seasons at Wisconsin. He was the program’s most versatile lineman, with starts at right tackle, right guard and left guard. 2022 was the best of his four seasons with the Badgers. He started eight games — five at right tackle, two at right guard and one at left guard.
The Oconomowoc, Wisconsin native transferred to Indiana following the 2023 campaign. The respective returns of Wisconsin starting tackles Jack Nelson (left) and Riley Mahlman (right) likely played a big role in that decision.
Wedig enjoyed a career year in 2024, helping Indiana to rush for nearly 2,500 yards and reach the end zone 37 times. The team was one of the top stories in college football, finishing at 11-2 after a CFP appearance.
The standout tackle is projected to be a late-round selection in the upcoming NFL draft.
