Donovan Raiola brings Badger-sized toughness and veteran edge to Wisconsin’s line
Raiola is a compact, powerful interior lineman with Wisconsin roots, having started 39 games at center for the Badgers before moving into coaching, which gives him rare credibility in evaluating and developing OL play.[1][4] His profile points to a high-IQ, technically sound fit for a physical run game rather than a pure athlete with elite length, and he is widely viewed as bringing a veteran, no-nonsense mentality to the room.[2][6] If you want a coach who understands Big Ten trench football and can speak the same language as linemen, he fits.
