Heinzen, a three-year starter at offensive tackle for Central Michigan, fills a key need for the Badgers, who lost starting left tackle Kevin Heywood to a torn ACL earlier in the spring.

A Manitowoc, Wisconsin native, Heinzen should compete with tackle Leyton Nelson for the starting left tackle job once he arrives in Madison.
