Former Wisconsin and Indiana offensive lineman Trey Wedig signed with the Los Angeles Rams
Trey Wedig played four seasons at Wisconsin before transferring to Indiana for his final college season. Wedig is one of the only prospects on offensive line that has started or played meaningful snaps at all five positions on the offensive line but projects as a guard at the NFL level.
