Bryan Sanborn’s Wisconsin career has been mostly special-teams driven, with a tough-path finish
In the 2023 season, Bryan Sanborn appeared in 17 career games for Wisconsin and was used mostly on special teams, finishing with 8 tackles; by spring 2024 he was listed as a medical non-counter and announced his retirement from football. The biggest differentiator here is lineage and feel: he’s the younger brother of former Badgers standout Jack Sanborn, and Wisconsin’s notes highlight his linebacker size and traditional inside-LB build, but the on-field sample was limited. If you’re looking for a proven, high-volume playmaker, he’s not that; if you value depth, physicality, and program familiarity, that was his lane.
