Tanor Bortolini was put in a tough spot as 2023 was a season of change for the Wisconsin football program.
Bortolini was asked to man one of the toughest positions on the offense, sort of by default. It boggles the mind that in 2023, the Badgers didn’t enter the off-season with a true center with the ability to block and shotgun snap at the same time. So, the Wisconsin native had the unenviable task of being the next man up.
And to his credit he got better as the season went on. While so many of us wondered out loud how much better the offense would be if Jake Renfro was healthy, Bortolini worked on his craft.
