The Wisconsin Badgers have made their first major move of the offseason, securing a commitment from veteran George Washington transfer guard Trey Autry on Thursday night. This marks a crucial first step for the program as it looks to rebuild its backcourt.

Autry, a rising senior, brings a wealth of experience and a reliable shooting touch to Madison. He started all 34 games for the Colonials last season, averaging 11 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while shooting an impressive 38.5% from beyond the arc. Over his three-year career, he appeared in 100 total games, providing the Badgers with a proven, steady presence.

His arrival is timely, as Wisconsin faces the significant task of replacing the production of departed stars John Blackwell (transfer portal) and Nick Boyd (NBA). Ranked as the No. 257 overall player in the transfer portal by 247Sports, Autry profiles as a key rotational piece who can stretch the floor and contribute immediately off the bench.

While this commitment is a positive start, it signals the beginning of a busy transfer cycle for the Badgers. Expect Head Coach Greg Gard and his staff to remain active in the portal as they continue to reshape the roster for the 2024-25 campaign. For Badgers fans, the offseason rebuild is officially underway.
