One of the best linebackers in recent Badger history, Joe Schobert, was honored by Waukesha West High School. His number 23 will never be worn again.
Schobert was one of the best players in the state of Wisconsin as a senior, but not as a linebacker, how Badgers fans know him. He was a a very productive running back. Schobert ran for over 1,500 yards and had 23 touchdowns as a senior. Still, it wasn’t good enough to earn a scholarship at Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin walk-on program has been picking up a lot of recognition lately, and Schobert is a prime example of what it can do.
