247Sports’ Chris Hummer put together a list of redshirt freshmen to keep an eye on in 2021 this morning and included in his list is Wisconsin offensive lineman Jack Nelson.
From Ohio State's potential starting QB to an entire starting 5 of o-linemen, these are the redshirt freshmen who could make a major impact on the 2021 season. Via @247Sports https://t.co/YV0CDxM87l

Nelson is lining up to start at right guard for the Badgers this year after seeing himself included on the team’s two-deep depth chart all of last season.
Here’s what Hummer had to say about the former four-star recruit:
Nelson has put on nearly 25 pounds since arriving in Madison, checking in this spring at 6-foot-7, 297 pounds. He’s got a new position, too. Nelson slid inside to guard this spring as Wisconsin attempted to get its five best linemen on the field. Now, Nelson is a redshirt freshman in what projects as otherwise an all-senior starting offensive line. Nelson won’t likely be a guard long term. There’s a reason why 247Sports rated the Stoughton, Wisconsin native a five-star recruit. But for now, he projects as a rare underclassman lineman to crack the Badgers’ starting five.
