Wisconsin offensive lineman Kevin Heywood (55) is shown during the fourth quarter of their game Saturday October 19, 2024 at Lanny and Sharon Martin Stadium in Evanston, Illinois. Wisconsin beat Northwestern 23-3.

Wisconsin left tackle Kevin Heywood will miss the 2025 season with an ACL injury, Badgers coach Luke Fickell said on Tuesday.

The 6-foot-8, 325-pound sophomore had been in line to replace Jack Nelson, a four-year starter and projected late-round pick in the upcoming NFL draft.

Heywood was a four-star recruit in the 2024 class, ranked No. 50 in the nation, No. 4 at his position and No. 1 in Pennsylvania by 247Sports.

Heywood appeared in all 12 games for the Badgers as a freshman last season, mostly on special teams.
