Former Wisconsin guard Breauna Ware is taking her talents to the Atlantic Coast Conference, signing with Wake Forest for her final season of college basketball. The 5-foot-7 guard from Queens, New York, announced the move on Friday, bringing an experienced presence to the Demon Deacons' backcourt.

Ware spent just one season in Madison, averaging 5.4 points and 1.7 rebounds per game while appearing in 25 contests with 13 starts. However, her role diminished down the stretch—she did not play in six of Wisconsin's final seven games and was absent from the team's WBIT semifinal trip to Kansas City, an absence head coach Robin Pingeton confirmed was not due to injury.

For Wake Forest, Ware adds depth and veteran leadership to an ACC program looking to make noise in one of the nation's toughest conferences. Her experience at the high-major level, combined with her athleticism and scoring ability, could make her a valuable rotational piece for the Demon Deacons as they prepare for the upcoming season.

Ware's journey from Queens to Madison and now to Winston-Salem reflects the ever-evolving landscape of college basketball, where players increasingly seek the right fit for their final chapter. For fans of both Wisconsin and Wake Forest, this transfer adds an intriguing storyline to watch as the 2026-27 season approaches.
