Fumagalli started as a walk-on with no guarantee of making the Badgers. But after playing all 14 games after his redshirt freshman year, he was offered a scholarship prior to the 2015 season.

Fumagalli finished his career with 135 catches, 1,627 receving yards and 7 touchdowns. He was part of the winningest senior class in the program's history. He can block, run quality routes, and catch deep balls and passes over the middle.

He's the sixth Badgers tight end drafted since 2006.
