MADISON, Wis. -- A media contingent more than 15 deep waited Saturday afternoon inside Wisconsin's indoor practice facility to talk to an offensive lineman who has yet to play a single snap in a Division I college game. When Ryan Ramczyk finally approached, he almost didn't know what to do.
Ramczyk stared at the group and acknowledged it was the "first time" he had ever spoken to so many people. He drew a breath and then took stock of a winding college path that began with a stint at a technical college and continued with two years of football at his hometown Division III school.
