Wisconsin offensive lineman has social media impressed with Reese’s Senior Bowl performance
Former Wisconsin offensive lineman Tanor Bortolini is off to a strong start at Reese’s Senior Bowl practice.
The multi-year starter brings impressive versatility to the collegiate all-star game, and will eventually to the NFL. He started games at left guard, right guard and center in 2022 before being the team’s full-time center in 2023.
He is one of two former Badgers in attendance at the Senior Bowl this week, joining long-snapper Peter Bowden.

Bortolini is currently projected to be a Day 2/Day 3 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. Though if his performance at the Senior Bowl is any indication, that stock could be on the rise.
Here are first-hand accounts from many at the practices:

Suamataia was strong and straining on multiple reps to finish away from the ball in team at RT. His and Fuaga’s play strength evident so far. Bortolini hitting landmarks and completing cut-offs, reaches. JPJ 👀

Steelers Depot's Jonathan Heitritter
Met with Wisconsin IOL Tanor Bortolini and he said he's had two meetings with the #Steelers so far. Has played center, left guard, and right guard so far in practice and played in a zone scheme last season. Definitely a name to keep an eye on in the middle rounds. #NFLDraft

Studying Wisconsin center Tanor Bortolini and he's got some good flashes on tape. Could have a big week at the Senior Bowl next week.
I like what I'm seeing so far!
Very experienced, with over 1,970 snaps played in his college career. pic.twitter.com/4yNWTm4F9g
