The Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball program has reportedly secured its first transfer portal commitment for the upcoming season, adding a significant piece to Coach Greg Gard's backcourt. According to multiple reports from CBS Sports, 247Sports, and On3, George Washington transfer 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 shooting an efficient 43.5% from the field and 38.5% from beyond the arc. This scoring punch and perimeter shooting should provide an immediate boost for a Wisconsin squad always looking to balance its trademark defensive grit with offensive firepower.
The guard brings a strong basketball pedigree to Madison as the son of former Syracuse coach Adrian Autry. A former three-star recruit, Autry chose George Washington over several high-major programs, including Maryland, Nebraska, and Cincinnati, showcasing the talent that initially attracted collegiate interest.
For Badgers fans, this move signals Coach Gard's active approach to building the roster through the transfer portal. Autry's experience and proven shooting ability make him a player to watch as Wisconsin prepares to compete in the ever-tough Big Ten conference. His addition is a promising first step in shaping the team's identity for the new season.
