Former Wisconsin Football RB Re-Signs With NFL Playoff Contender

Former Wisconsin football player Dare Ogunbowale entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2017 with the Houston Texans. Since then, he’s been on four different teams in his pro career, carving out a role on special teams and as a third-down running back.

His most productive years have been with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2020-2021) and the Houston Texans (2022-2023). In those four years, Ogunbowale has played in 60 games, starting eight, totaling 125 carries for 440 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

The former Badgers tailback spent last season with the Texans and was a key contributor to the Texans’ special teams unit.
