Madison — Football wasn't on Ryan Ramczyk's mind in the fall of 2012.
An all-state offensive tackle at Stevens Point High school as a senior in 2011, Ramczyk was toiling in anonymity on the Stevens Point campus of Mid-State Technical College.
"I was probably going to go into welding, some hands-on career," Ramczyk said.
Ramczyk's professional aspirations have come full circle. The boy who grew up watching the Wisconsin Badgers play on Saturday and the Green Bay Packers play on Sunday is UW's No. 1 left tackle and a player with NFL talent.
"It's always been a dream of mine," the 6-foot-6, 308-pound redshirt junior said.
