The Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball program has reportedly secured its first major transfer portal addition for the upcoming season, adding a promising backcourt piece. According to multiple reports from CBS Sports, 247Sports, and On3, George Washington transfer guard Trey Autry has signed with the team, though the university has yet to make an official announcement.
Autry, a 6-foot-4 guard with one season of eligibility remaining, is coming off a career year. He averaged 11 points and 1.5 assists per game while showcasing efficient shooting, hitting 43.5% from the field and a solid 38.5% from beyond the arc. His size and shooting ability could provide an immediate boost to a Badgers squad looking to enhance its perimeter scoring and versatility.
Basketball runs in the family for the new Badger. Autry is the son of Adrian Autry, the current head coach at Syracuse University. A former three-star recruit, Trey chose George Washington over offers from several notable programs including Maryland, Nebraska, and Cincinnati before deciding to bring his talents to Madison.
This move signals head coach Greg Gard's active approach to building his roster through the transfer portal, aiming to blend experienced newcomers with returning talent. For Badgers fans, Autry's commitment represents an exciting first step in shaping the team's backcourt for the challenges ahead in the competitive Big Ten landscape.
