Chris McIntosh (born February 20, 1977) is an American college athletics administrator, businessman, and former football player who is the current athletic director at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.[1] He played professionally as a tackle for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL)
He played college football as an offensive tackle for the Wisconsin Badgers, earning a consensus unanimous All-American selection, Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year and a 2000 Rose Bowl victory. McIntosh was selected by the Seahawks in the first round of the 2000 NFL draft. He played for parts of three seasons but suffered a neck injury in 2001 which derailed his career and led him to retire from football before the start of the 2003 season. Upon his retirement from the NFL, McIntosh pursued various unsuccessful business ventures in the private sector before returning to the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he would quickly rise to become deputy athletic director before being selected to succeed longtime athletic director and former head football coach Barry Alvarez upon Alvarez's retirement.[2][3]
