Wisconsin starting left tackle Kevin Heywood will miss the rest of the 2026 college football season, according to a report by John Steppe of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published Saturday.
The offensive lineman's absence represents a significant loss for the Badgers' offensive line. Heywood had been anchoring the left tackle position, a critical role in protecting the quarterback's blind side.
No specific details regarding the nature of Heywood's injury or the exact timeline for his return were provided in the initial report. Wisconsin's coaching staff will need to adjust their line configuration for the remaining games of the 2026 campaign.
