AP Football All-American Team Includes 5 Badgers

A record-tying five Wisconsin Badgers have been named to the 2017 Associated Press Football All-American team. The only other time that has happened was in 2010.  Junior linebacker T.J. Edwards was named to the first-team after a season including 75 tackles and four interceptions.  Freshman running back Jonathan Taylor and senior tight end Troy Fumagalli were named to the second team, while redshirt junior guard Beau Benzschawel and redshirt sophomore tackle David Edwards were named to the third team released Monday.  Fumagalli caught 43 passes for 516 yards and four touchdowns.  Taylor is the nation’s third-leading rusher with 18-hundred-47 yards and 13 touchdowns.  He finished sixth in the Heisman Trophy voting.
