With his kick return still on fans’ mind, David Gilreath tackles a new role with the University of Wisconsin

Yep, it’s that time of the year again for David Gilreath.

Inevitably, when the University of Wisconsin football team gears up to face Ohio State, his name will surface, particularly until the Badgers beat OSU for the first time since the night of his legendary 2010 kick return.

But 12 years after Gilreath started off an unforgettable 31-18 win over No. 1 Ohio State with a bang, he’s a full-time employee with his alma mater and planning for UW’s many years ahead. He’s the university’s director of development, housed in the athletics department.
