once a top-100 Florida edge, now a Wisconsin DL with real pedigree
Anthony Mains entered Wisconsin as a highly regarded recruit — Rivals listed him as the No. 16 defensive end nationally and the No. 84 player in Florida — but the available roster history shows his Badger production was limited early, with only four games played in 2009 and one recorded tackle against Fresno State in 2009. The appeal here is obvious: at 6-foot-6 with long, disruptive edge traits, he brings size, length, and upside that can stress offensive tackles when the motor is right. If you’re betting on ceiling, not just box-score noise, Mains is the kind of developmental DL worth a look.
