Arthur Goldberg is the only scholarship player on the defensive line for the Badgers in the 2012 class and may have a hard time breaking into the rotation in year one, but that may not be because of his talent level, it’s just that there are so many good players up the middle in front of him.

Quick Thoughts:
– He has a good motor & doesn’t give up on plays making him a good interior player in pursuit situations on the edge.
– Can be a run stuffer as he gets off blocks pretty well for his developmental stage.
– Plays a bit too high from time to time and can cause him to get pushed back off the line, but that can be corrected with technique and teaching at the collegiate level.
Here’s a video from his junior year, it also shows him playing some offensive line too:
