When Urbik's streak of 45 consecutive starts came to an end when he injured his knee vs. Penn State in 2008, the Badgers' midseason struggles began. Without their offensive leader, Wisconsin lost five of six contests before a fully recovered Urbik, the right offensive guard, guided the team to a 3-1 record to close out the season.

Wisconsin has been known for developing quite a bit of offensive line talent for the NFL ever since former head coach Barry Alvarez arrived on campus. A member of that renowned coach's best recruiting class, Urbik was the first Badger freshman to start at offensive tackle since All-American Chris McIntosh did in 1996. Urbik would go on to start 16 games at right tackle and 34 at right guard during his career -- and that versatility has made him one of the most coveted linemen in the 2009 NFL Draft.

Coach Alvarez hit the "mother lode" when he went recruiting at Hudson High School, as he not only secured the services of Urbik, but those of his prep teammate, Eric Vanden Heuvel, who went on to start on the right side of the Badger's front wall for the last three seasons.

At Hudson High School, Urbik was named to Prep Star's All-American team and was rated one of the top 55 players in the Midwest, according to Super Prep, as a senior. He was rated the third-best player in Wisconsin by Rivals.com, earning first-team All-State honors from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The team captain and MVP was also a first-team All-Conference selection while starting every game as a junior and senior. Urbik lettered in basketball and track, in addition to playing football. As a senior, he placed fifth in shot put at the Division I state meet.

Urbik enrolled at Wisconsin in 2004, earning Scout Team Player of the Week honors for his performance on that squad prior to the Michigan State clash. In 2005, he started 13 games at right offensive tackle, delivering 66 knockdowns and nine touchdown-resulting blocks to earn second-team Freshman All-American honors. The team ranked 14th in the nation in scoring (34.31 ppg) and 11th in pass efficiency (149.51 rating) during his first year with the varsity.

In 2006, Urbik shifted to right offensive guard. He tallied 83 knockdowns and eight touchdown-resulting blocks to help the Badgers average 29.23 points and 373.2 yards per game in total offense. Even though the front wall allowed 30 quarterback sacks, only one was charged to its sophomore offensive guard.

As a junior, Urbik received consensus All-Big Ten Conference second-team honors. He started the first 10 games at right guard, closing the season with three more starting assignments at left tackle. He registered a team-high 104 knockdowns and led the Big Ten guards with 15 touchdown-resulting blocks. Behind his stellar performance, the team averaged 408.77 yards per game, finishing second in the league and 21st nationally with a rushing average of 200.77 yards. He also recorded the only tackle of his career, coming vs. Penn State.

Despite suffering a knee injury vs. Penn State that would sideline Urbik for two midseason games, he was named to Phil Steele's All-American first-team and chosen first-team All-Big Ten Conference by several publications. He made 72 knockdowns and 11 touchdown-resulting blocks, paving the way for the conference-leading ground attack that averaged 211.15 yards per game, the 14th-best figure in the nation.

GENERAL REPORT: GRADE: 6.92

Body Structure: Urbik is a big body type with good arm length, and large and strong hands. He has a bit too much girth, but has the big hips, thighs and calves to anchor strongly when he stays down in his pads. Outside of his girth, he has an overall firm frame and while he is not explosive out of his stance, he has a very strong lower body.

Athletic Ability: Urbik lacks ideal stamina, as he is more apt to lean into his man and use his body as a crutch as the game wears on, but he has enough quickness and movement to get the job done coming off the snap. He lacks great muscle definition, but is a naturally strong athlete, doing an excellent job of anchoring firmly vs. the bull rush. You will not see him show suddenness taking on double moves, but he has enough lateral skills to execute the short pulls to the outside (just not as fluid getting into the second level). GRADE: 6.2

Football Sense: Urbik is very effective adjusting to line stunts and shows very good vision to pick up the twists. He works well with others on double teams and keeps his head on a swivel moving into the second level. He easily takes plays from the chalkboard to the playing field. He plays with good concentration (just three penalties during his career) and is very alert to the defender's movements. GRADE: 7.4

Character: Urbik is a blue-collar type who has no problems off the field. He gets good family support and has been a good program player who is compliant. He does not need any prodding in the training room and is a good self-starter and role model for the younger players. GRADE: 7.2

Competitiveness: Urbik plays with a nasty temperament and his aggression rubs off on players lining up around him. He works to finish and while he sometimes gets too anxious, he will not play outside himself and lose balance when anchored at the point of attack. He is just a tough, gritty athlete who has a few tricks in his bag that he uses to combat the more physical opponent, as he loves the confrontations in the trenches. GRADE: 7.0

Work Habits: Urbik is a hard worker in the weight room, called by the staff the toughest player on the team. He was the unquestioned leader of the offensive line and will not hesitate to get physical with his opponent. He takes well to hard coaching and his mean streak on the field -- while not in the Conrad Dobler category -- is one that makes a defender take pause before deciding whether to challenge him. GRADE: 6.8

ATHLETIC REPORT: GRADE: 6.48

Initial Quickness: Urbik has enough functional initial quickness off the snap to gain advantage, and he has good pop and explosion on contact, although he must sink his pads to be effective. He is a very good position blocker who uses his natural leverage to sustain blocks. Despite his girth, he does a good job of staying low in his pads, but when he gets tall, he will get walked back or lose relationship with the bull rusher. He does not come off the snap with good explosion, and if a quick defender gets a side on him, he will lose contact when he "short arms." He's not quick getting his hands up or recoiling vs. counter moves. But for a big man, he moves well along the line (struggles in the second level) to gain an advantage: GRADE: 5.8

Lateral Movement: Urbik is a marginal mover in space, especially when trying to mirror smaller, quicker opponents, as he does not have the ease of movement to recover when he lunges or over-extends (footwork needs major refinement). He looks stiff in his movements down the line and is better battling in the trenches than when asked to pull or trap. He can find his way around the center, but shows no hip snap when having to redirect. GRADE: 5.4

Balance/Stays On Feet: Like most large offensive linemen, his girth sometimes causes problems when trying to play at a good pad level, as he is prone to getting too tall in his stance, resulting in him struggling to maintain balance on the move. He does have some balance concerns when he over-extends, but generally plays with a wide base and strong anchor to maintain position. He uses his leg drive and strength to get movement off the ball, as he is an efficient knee bender who might lack great flexibility, but he rarely bends at the waist. To compensate for a lack of explosiveness off the snap, he has developed into a very patient blocker, especially in pass protection, as he can sink his weight and slide better when he keeps his pads true. GRADE: 6.5

Explosion/Pop: His style of play is more suited for a power-oriented attack, as he does not have the agility needed to play in a zone blocking scheme. Even when he gets too tall in his stance, he does a good job of maintaining his anchor, as he comes off the snap low in drive blocking situations. Urbik is a strong straight-line blocker who is adequate at moving down the line, but also shows functional lateral agility and kick slide needed in pass protection. He is generally effective when angle blocking and walling off, as he does a good job staying with his blocks. With his powerful punch, he has had good success drilling blitzing linebackers and neutralizing the bull rush (see 2008 Fresno State, Ohio State and Florida State games). GRADE: 7.6

Run Blocking: Urbik is best when blocking for the run. He might be a plodder, but shows the ability to get a good fit and drive the defender off the ball. His leg drive gets him good success to work for position. He is better on the short pull to the front side than when working as a trap blocker off tackle. In the run game, he is a good technician who comes off the ball well with some quickness to position and play with good leverage and hand usage. He has the leg drive to clear the rush lanes and shows good hand placement to root out the defender. Some coaches might want him to sink his weight and lower his pads more, especially in short-yardage situations, as he does take false steps that make his leverage inconsistent. He is not asked to get out on the edge and impact for outside running plays, as he does not have great timed speed, but he will not cross his feet, and compensates for lumbering into the second level by taking good blocking angles. GRADE: 7.2

Pass Blocking: Urbik might struggle with the quick double move at times but is generally efficient in pass protection, as he stays on his feet and anchors well. Some teams might look at him as a right tackle, but he does not have that natural balance or foot quickness to mirror edge rushers (best when not isolated on the outside). He could have problems vs. the speed rush at the next level, but he does sink his hips adequately and compensates by playing with a wide base to maintain his anchor. When he tires late in games, he relies more on pushing and leaning into the defender to gain advantage in pass protection. When he plays with good patience, he has better ability to neutralize, thanks to his anchor and kick slide. GRADE: 6.7

Pulling/Trapping: Urbik is a poor long distance trap blocker, as he is too slow when having to attack the second level. He needs to move his feet and hips more when attempting to pull and trap. When pulling from the back side, he will get caught in traffic and this prevents him from getting to the point of attack, as he pulls too flat and gets swallowed. He works hard to open his hips and move down the line, but he is just not quick enough to reach a second-level target. GRADE: 5.3

Adjust on Linebacker Downfield: Urbik does not have the speed needed to get to the second level, but when he times his moves and takes proper angles on screens, he is better when working in space. He has adequate straight-line quickness to reach the second level, but struggles to adjust and will only sustain when he achieves contact. He is also sometimes slow to adjust to the linebackers on the blitz and while he has a good hand placement, he will get a little lazy and allow some inside penetration (see 2008 Penn State and Cal Poly and 2007 Penn State and Ohio State games). GRADE: 5.5

Use of Hands/Punch: Urbik is not that flexible, but when he comes off the snap with good hand placement, he is quite effective at neutralizing the straight-line charge (will struggle vs. side movement due to inconsistent hip snap). He is an effective reach blocker thanks to a long wingspan and does a good job of keeping his arms and hands active to gain separation. He gets good hand placement and generates strong force behind his punch, enough to get a good jolt -- he likes to use his hands as weapons. He needs to show better hand extension to control on the move, though. He plays with good nastiness, using his hands effectively to generate a punch to shock and jolt. He's also quite effective at grabbing and locking out without getting caught by the refs. GRADE: 7.3

Reactions/Awareness: Urbik is a low rep assignment player who does a good job of keeping his head on a swivel and anticipating the defender's moves in the trenches, although he's not as aware of activity moving in space. He works well with other linemen on combo blocks, as he is an efficient contact seeker with impressive upper body strength. He also shows very good alertness to pick up stunts and blitzes, getting good position to sustain. GRADE: 7.5

Compares To: DAN BUENNING, Chicago -- One thing about Wisconsin offensive linemen -- they are tough and well prepared to play the NFL power game. Urbik is never going to impress with his foot speed and is not suited for a zone blocking scheme, but he has very good tenacity and a strong hand punch. He will struggle to handle speed moves, making a shift to offensive tackle not ideal for a player who is better suited working inside in combination with other blockers. With his ability to wall off defenders and widen the rush lanes, a team with a strong inside running game will benefit most from a player of his caliber.

Iowa … The offense managed only 304 yards, but pulled out a 17-13 victory, thanks to Urbik's 11 knockdowns that helped the running game total 166 yards. The right guard was selected his team's Player of the Week for that performance … He put on a blocking clinic during the Badger's game-winning fourth quarter drive. He began that series by opening a hole used by P.J. Hill for a 12-yard gain, as 10 more yards were tacked on when an Iowa player was charged with grabbing the Wisconsin tailback's face mask. With two goal-line attempts failing for Hill over the left side of the line, he went back over right guard on third-and-goal, as Urbik pushed two defenders into the end zone to pave the way for Hill's 11-play, 68-yard capping of the drive with a 2-yard run … Head to Head Competition-DT#53-Matt Kroul (6:03-271)-Six tackles (3 solos) … Team Offensive Production-49 carries for 166 yards and one touchdown, 304 yards in total offense.

The drive stalled on the left side for two plays, but on third-and-goal, Urbik powered his way into the end zone and tailback P.J. Hill used that rush lane for a 1-yard power run between Urbik and center Marcus Coleman for a touchdown that concluded a 9-play, 78-yard series … Head to Head Competition-DT#96-Chris Norwell (6:06-297)-Two assisted tackles … Team Offensive Production-31 carries for 127 yards and one touchdown, 519 yards in total offense.

Hill for 6 yards and on third-and-5, linebacker Josh Allen and defensive end Larry English were no match for the right guard, as he held off the pair on QB Tyler Donovan's 25-yard scoring pass to Garrett Graham … Later in the opening frame, Hill took a handoff, broke a tackle, heading towards the right side through a hole created by Urbik and then saw the blocker flatten linebacker Zach Larsen before turning on the burners en route to a 72-yard touchdown jaunt … A first-and-goal run by Larry Smith was good for a 9-yard score, as the right guard flipped defensive tackle Ed Johnson out of the way … Head to Head Competition-DT#90-Ed Jackson (6:03-288)-One solo tackle … Team Offensive Production-55 carries for 331 yards and four touchdowns, 431 yards in total offense.

Indiana … Urbik picked up team Offensive Player of the Week and The NFL Draft Report Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Week honors, as he was nearly flawless in a 33-3 rout of the Hoosiers.
