Wisconsin OL John Clifford: Deep-rotation blocker with academic consistency
John Clifford is a **6-foot-5, 305-pound redshirt junior** offensive lineman for Wisconsin who has mostly been a developmental piece, appearing in just one game in 2025 and one game in 2022 while earning **Academic All-Big Ten** honors in 2023, 2024, and 2025.[13] The big differentiator is his profile: a strong, in-state lineman with size, background, and steady program value, but not yet a proven game-day contributor, so he looks more like a depth-and-development fit than an immediate plug-and-play starter.[13]
