College football experts outside Wisconsin are expecting some big things from Badgers linebacker Nick Herbig.
He is on the shortlist for the Chuck Bednarik Award – which is given to the College Football Defensive Player of the Year.
As a sophomore, the 227-pounder produced nine sacks, 37 quarterback pressures, and 6 quarterback hits.
Pro Football Focus reports Herbig had an outstanding 27.3% pass rush win rate.
That led all edge rushers in the Big Ten Conference last season.
