Watt, a redshirt junior, registered 11.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and 15.5 tackles for losses during Wisconsin’s 11-3 season. He led the Big 10 in sacks and was named a first-team All Big 10 selection for 2016.
At 6-5 and around 240 pounds, Watt will likely be coveted by teams running the 3-4 defense as a pass-rushing outside linebacker.
