Sophomore running back Jonathan Taylor continues to etch his name into Wisconsin football lore. With five first-team All-America accolades for this season’s performance, the Badger became the 10th in school history to earn the title of unanimous All-American.
Heading into the 2018 Pinstripe Bowl against Miami on Dec. 27, Taylor leads the nation in rushing yards (1,989) and rushing yards per game (165.8) while scoring 15 touchdowns on the ground during the 2018 season.
Three other Badgers—Alan Ameche (1954), Ron Dayne (1999) and Melvin Gordon (2014)—have claimed the distinction of unanimous All-American, according to UW.
