'06 OH OL/DL Billy Nagy (Wisconsin signee)

Multiple positions, multiple roles for selfless Nagy
Despite losing his starting job at right guard, senior lineman has displayed versatility for UW in times of need

After practice, he is sweaty and exhausted. His jersey is soaked. His taped hands, raw. His once shiny white helmet bears a plethora of scuff marks in more colors than he could count with his two massive hands.

If the diversity of colors were meant to represent the variety of roles redshirt senior Bill Nagy has held, it would be a fitting metaphor.

Nagy, who has played in all eight games this season and started six of them, has played right guard, tight end and center in his playing career as a Badger. In Sunday?s win over Iowa, he filled in at center in the second half for redshirt sophomore Peter Konz, who left the game due to injury and didn?t return after the first half.

Despite his need to frequently adjust to different positions, Nagy isn?t fazed by his responsibilities.

?I was ready to go. It?s just something we practice and prepare for everyday?Whenever your number is called, you have to be ready to seize the opportunity,? Nagy said.
