Brugler's analysis.
6. TYLER BIADASZ | Wisconsin 6035 | 314 lbs. | rJR. Amherst, Wis. (Amherst) #51
BACKGROUND: Tyler Biadasz (bee-AH-dish), who grew up near his family’s cattle farm in Amherst, was a three-year letterman, starring in baseball, basketball and football. While he was a four-year starter as both offense (left tackle) and defense (defensive line), earning All-Conference honors on offense and defense his sophomore, junior and senior years. Biadasz posted 70 tackles, 7.0 sacks, five forced fumbles and an interception as a senior, leading Amherst to the 2015 Division-5 state championship. He received the 2015 Tim Krumrie Award as the state’s most outstanding defensive lineman, also earning first-team All-State. He finished his prep career with 232 tackles, 19.0 sacks and 11 forced fumbles. A three-star defensive end recruit out of high school, Biadasz was the No. 52 defensive end in the country and the No. 7 recruit in the state of Wisconsin. He received FCS-offers from programs like Illinois State, South Dakota, Southern Illinois and Western Illinois, while flirting with several Big Ten programs. Growing up wanting to be a Badger, Biadasz received his Wisconsin offer the summer before his senior year, which turned out to be his lone FBS-level scholarship offer. Despite never playing center before, he was moved to center during his redshirt year in Madison. Biadasz elected to skip his senior season and enter the 2020 NFL Draft. YEAR (GP/GS) POSITION NOTES 2016: Redshirted Transitioned to offensive center 2017: (14/14) OC Freshman All-American; Third team All-Big Ten; Academic All-Big Ten 2018: (13/13) OC First team All-Big Ten; Academic All-Big Ten 2019: (14/14) OC Rimington Trophy (first in school history); Unanimous All-American; First team All-Big Ten; Academic All-Big Ten.
STRENGTHS: Technically sound approach…strikes with placement and pop, bending his knees to leverage the point of attack…adequate first step quickness…works hard to the hole, attacking and driving defenders off the screen…keeps his legs pumping in the run game to create movement…able to burst into blocks on the move when properly squared to his target…keeps busy and owns a finishing attitude…likeable personality and developed into a “great leader,” according to head coach Paul Chryst…started 41 straight games and rarely came off the field (played 94.1% of Wisconsin’s offensive snaps the last three years).
WEAKNESSES: Subpar athlete with below-average redirection skills…stiff midsection, struggling to plant-and-torque defenders on the move…has a tough time latching onto moving targets…lunges and loses balance in space, whiffing on linebackers at the second level…eager with his punch and overextends…struggles to anchor vs. bull rushers and can be rocked backwards by physical nose tackles…had at least four penalties each season…played through a hip injury most of the 2018 season, requiring offseason hip surgery (Spring 2019) and missing spring practices; missed part of the draft process due to an AC scope of his right shoulder (February 2020).
SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Wisconsin, Biadasz was the starting center in head coach Paul Chryst’s pro-style scheme. He started every game with Jonathan Taylor the last three seasons, helping clear the way for one of most productive runners in college football history. A program kid, Biadasz hoped to play defensive line in Madison, but bought into the move to center as a freshman and developed into a technician, playing under his pads and timing his punch. However, his lack of top level athletic traits and recovery skills showed vs. better opponents (see 2019 Ohio State tape). Overall, Biadasz moves with stiffness and his balance issues will be highlighted vs. NFL-level competition, but he is fundamentally sound with the smarts and toughness to fight for a starting role in an NFL camp – if his medical situation doesn’t interfere.
