Former Badgers offensive lineman Kyle Costigan is in his sixth season as an assistant strength and conditioning coach, and his eighth year overall with Wisconsin’s football strength program, in 2022.

Prior to being named assistant strength and conditioning coach in 2017, Costigan spent two seasons as a graduate assistant.

Costigan played in 42 games and made 35 starts during his Badgers career, including starting the final 26 consecutive games of his career at right guard.

He contributed to two of the three best single-season rushing performances in school history, including the school-record average of 320.1 yards per game in 2014, and blocked for three 1,000-yard rushers in James White and Heisman Trophy finalists Montee Ball and Melvin Gordon.

Wisconsin went 39-16 during Costigan’s career, matching the third-highest win total by a UW senior class.

Regarded by teammates as the Badgers’ toughest player during his career, Costigan is the only two-time recipient of the team’s Badger Power Award for his high level of performance in the strength and conditioning program.

Costigan graduated from UW with a bachelor’s degree in consumer affairs in December 2014. He received his master’s degree in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis with a concentration in intercollegiate athletic administration from UW in May 2017.

He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the NSCA and has his Reflexive Performance Reset Level 1 certification.

Costigan has two sons, Cash and Mack.
