Big-bodied Wisconsin redshirt sophomore with prototype OL traits
Ben Hemer is a redshirt sophomore offensive lineman for Wisconsin in the 2026 season, listed at 6-foot-6 and 299 pounds, and he fits the Badgers’ classic mold: long, sturdy, and built for power football[1]. The key draw is his frame and developmental upside, not flashy stats—Wisconsin’s program has a long history of molding linemen like this into reliable trench enforcers, so if you value size, toughness, and coaching upside, he’s the kind of prospect worth monitoring[1].
