Athlon Sports recently released a list of the country’s 50 most underrated players. For the list, Athlon defined underrated as “50 players that deserve more overall attention going into 2018.” The players on the list, including Sagapolu, are well-known within their respective fan bases but may not get as much shine on a national level.
Sagapolu’s place on the list comes along with the expectations that the Wisconsin nose tackle will continue to thrive in his role as the primary run stopper. With Sagapolu as a starter for three years, the Badger defense has placed in the top five in rushing defense (2015: 4th, 2016: 3rd, 2017: 3rd).
