UW-Madison announced Wednesday that the speaker for the 2016 Spring Commencement is Russell Wilson, Super Bowl-winning quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks.
Wilson played quarterback for the Badgers during the 2011-'12 season, which culminated in a 45-38 Rose Bowl loss to Oregon. The Seattle Seahawks drafted him in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
Darrell Bevell, Rose Bowl-winning quarterback for UW-Madison and offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks, joined Wilson on camera for UW-Madison's announcement.
The 2016 Spring Commencement is May 14 at Camp Randall.
