The Associated Press released its preseason All-America team earlier this afternoon, and Wisconsin Football had five players make the cut.
Wisconsin joins Clemson in leading the nation with three players on the first team. The first-team Badgers are linebacker T.J. Edwards, running back Jonathan Taylor, and guard Beau Benzschawel. Edwards is one of three players to make the preseason first team who ended last season as first-team All-Americans.
Wisconsin also landed tackle David Edwards and guard Michael Deiter on the second team. Overall, the Badgers tied Alabama for the most combined players on the preseason All-America team with 5.
