Josh Oglesby was a tone-setting Badger tackle built for Wisconsin football
In the 2011 season, Josh Oglesby earned consensus first-team All-Big Ten honors and anchored a Badger run game that averaged 236 rushing yards per game, a classic Wisconsin profile that valued power, edge-setting, and consistency. He stood out for his size, long frame, and rugged mentality, and he was twice on the Outland Trophy Watch List, signaling national respect as an interior-line prospect. The big question with Oglesby’s career was durability, but when healthy he looked like a blue-collar mauler who fit Wisconsin’s identity perfectly.
