Badgers Land George Washington Transfer Trey Autry as First Portal Commit
Wisconsin secures a veteran, 3-point sharp shooting guard to help fill the void left by John Blackwell.
The seal is officially broken. After weeks of evaluating, hosting visits, and navigating the chaotic waters of the transfer portal, Greg Gard and the Wisconsin Badgers have landed their first prize of the 2026 cycle.
Trey Autry, a 6’4” guard who spent the last three seasons steadily improving for George Washington in the Atlantic 10, has officially committed to Wisconsin.
This is a critical first domino to fall for a Badger program looking to reload its backcourt after John Blackwell’s departure. Autry brings size, high-level shot-making, and a massive basketball IQ to Madison. Let’s dive into the numbers, his career arc, and exactly what the Badgers are getting in their newest guard.
The Deep Dive: 2025-26 Season & Career Stats
Autry blossomed into a highly reliable offensive weapon during his junior season in the A-10. He went from being a solid rotational piece as a freshman (5.4 PPG) to a full-time starter and focal point on the scouting report.
Here is what his production looked like during his 2025-26 campaign at George Washington:
Points Per Game: 11.0
Rebounds Per Game: 3.5
3-Point Percentage: 38.5% on high volume (6.4 attempts per game)
Free Throw Percentage: 81.0%
Career Arc & Progression: Autry’s career has been a steady, upward climb. Over his 100 career games, he transformed from a spot-up threat into a guy who can navigate screens, space the floor, and hit timely jumpers.
The most encouraging stat for Badger fans? He shot nearly 40% from deep while taking over six threes a game last year. He isn’t just taking wide-open looks; he’s hitting them with defenders closing out.
