Nose tackle Keeanu Benton could have turned pro after the 2021 season, his third at Wisconsin.
The graduate of Janesville Craig High School chose to return to UW for his senior season for two reasons:
To help UW win a Big Ten title and to improve as a player.
UW failed to win the Big Ten West and finished just 4-5 in the Big Ten, but Benton put together his best season with the Badgers and on Friday announced via Twitter he is entering the 2023 NFL draft. Benton could have returned for a fifth season because of the COVID year exception.
