Wisconsin basketball veteran forward enters NCAA transfer portal
Wisconsin veteran forward Chris Hodges entered the NCAA transfer portal on Wednesday.
The graduate transfer played four seasons with the Badgers after originally joining the program as a three-star recruit in the class of 2021, committing over other offers from DePaul, Loyola, Miami (OH) and Rutgers.
Hodges redshirted on Wisconsin's 2021-22 Big Ten title team before appearing in 40 games over the next three seasons. He was a reserve forward through that time, playing just 30, 21 and 15 total minutes as a redshirt freshman, sophomore and junior, respectively. The former three-star recruit tallied four total points, nine rebounds, two assists, a steal and four blocks in that limited playing time.
The Schaumburg, Illinois, native enters the portal with a final year of eligibility remaining. He is the third Badger to transfer since the conclusion of the 2024-25 season, following veteran guard Camren Hunter and former top recruit Daniel Freitag. Those three follow a large departing senior class of Max Klesmit, Kamari McGee, Carter Gilmore, Steven Crowl, John Tonje and Markus Ilver.
Wisconsin has yet to land a transfer commitment at this early stage in the cycle. That may change in the coming days, as the program was recently predicted to edge North Carolina for a top-ranked guard and is a finalist for a sharpshooting freshman forward.

The Most Important Packers: No. 27 — Savion Williams
Former TCU wide receiver Savion Williams could give the Green Bay Packers' offense a jolt this ... More season. The Green Bay Packers went 11-6 last season, sweeping the NFC West and the AFC South along the way. Overall, though, no one in the building was happy. The Packers failed to build on their terrific finish to the 2023 campaign, settled for the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, and lost a Wild Card game to eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia. Afterwards, general manager Brian Gutekunst turned up the heat on everybody in the building. 'We need to continue to ramp up our sense of urgency,' Gutekunst said. 'I think it's time we started competing for championships.' Those are fair expectations. The Packers return 20 of 22 starters, and appear to have upgraded the roster via free agency and the draft. With several third and fourth year players trending upward, Green Bay should be poised to make a move. 'I think they're ready,' Gutekunst said. Now, it's time for the Packers to prove their G.M. right. Green Bay's first training camp practice is July 23. Between now and then I will count down the '30 Most Important Packers' heading into the 2025 campaign. At No. 27 is rookie wide receiver Savion 27 Savion Williams, WR Last season The 6-foot-4, 222-pound Williams spent five years at TCU. In 52 career games, he caught 137 passes for 1,655 yards (12.1) and had 14 touchdowns. Williams also ran the ball 62 times for 384 yards (6.2) and six TDs. Williams played sparingly his first two years with the Horned Frogs, then broke out during his final two seasons. In 2023, Williams caught 41 passes for 573 yards and four TDs, while rushing 11 times for 62 yards. Then in 2024, Williams caught 60 passes for 611 yards and six TDs, while rushing for 322 yards and six more TDs. On the flip side, Williams had a high number of drops at TCU and scouts questioned his ability to run the full route tree. Green Bay general manager Brian Gutekunst said the Packers weren't concerned with his hands, though, and the tape showed far more good than bad. 'He's a huge man, but his determination, his ability, his elusiveness, his power, his ability to break tackles, I just thought those were the first things that stuck out to you,' Gutekunst said of Williams. 'Because they moved him all around in different ways, I thought there was a little bit of a rawness to his game as far as the polish as a route-runner, and things like that. But his ability to create separation and get behind guys vertically and catch the football, all those things I think, he just really seemed to fit what we're trying to do.'Outlook The only certainty with Green Bay's wide receiver group is uncertainty. Questions surround returning players like Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks, while Christian Watson is recovering from a torn ACL. That means rookies Williams and first round wideout Matthew Golden will be given every chance to flourish. Many scouts compared Williams to Cordarrelle Patterson, a versatile player who's carved out a 12-year career with six NFL teams. Now, it's up to the Packers to find ways for Williams to flourish — whether that's in the passing game or as a ball carrier. 'He's a guy that is really interesting,' Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said of Williams. 'You can come up with a zillion different ways to use him in your offense. That's one guy I'm really fired up about.'They Said It … 'You love the versatility, just his ability to go in there play wildcat quarterback, get in the backfield and play as a halfback, or whatever, however you want to use him. Jet sweeps. You just want to find different ways to give him the ball because he's so big, he's so powerful, so explosive, and I think that guys just have a tendency to bounce off of him. I think he's just scratching the surface of the playmaker he can become.' — Packers coach Matt LaFleur on Williams'He's done a lot of wildcat running back stuff. He's played inside out of the slot. He can play outside. He's so good in the red zone. I just think he's really versatile. Receivers that can do things with the ball in their hands is very important to us.' — Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst on Williams'I'm excited about a lot of the different things we can do with Savion, whether it's handing him the ball or his routes down the field. He's a guy that can make some plays." — Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich on Williams'Whatever my team needs me to do, that's what I'm going to do. If coach tell me to get on tight end, I'm going to play tight end. Get on the line, I'm going to play lineman. Whatever I need to do I'm going to do.' — Williams on ways he can help an offenseTHE TOP 30 • No. 30 — RB MarShawn Lloyd • No. 29 — WR Dontayvion Wicks • No. 28 — S Javon Bullard

Wisconsin football top 2026 safety target sets commitment date
Wisconsin football class of 2026 safety target Jowell Combay will announce his collegiate commitment on July 9, according to his recent post on X. Combay, who officially visited Madison the weekend of June 13, will make his decision between a litany of the most prestigious programs across the nation. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound safety also officially visited Missouri the weekend of May 30, South Carolina the weekend of June 6 and Tennessee the weekend of June 20. He also unofficially visited Georgia and Georgia Tech on May 17 and June 19, respectively. At this stage of the process, it appears as if the Badgers, Tigers, Gamecocks, Volunteers, Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets are in a six-team race to secure a commitment from the talented defender. 247Sports' composite ranking considers the rising senior the No. 630 overall recruit in the nation, the No. 49 safety and the No. 70 overall player from his home state of Georgia. The Marietta native is considered a three-star prospect by both 247Sports and On3, while Rivals lists him as a four-star player. As a junior at Kell High School, Combay logged 93 total tackles (66 solo), 11 pass deflections, three tackles for loss and two interceptions. In two seasons as a member of the varsity squad, he has accumulated 152 total tackles (105 solo), 16 pass deflections and two interceptions. Neither Rivals nor 247Sports has released predictions for Combay's decision, but On3's prediction recruiting machine considers Tennessee the favorite at 28%. The Volunteers are followed by the Gamecocks (18.5%), Tigers (15.9%) and Badgers (13.2%). Wisconsin's current class of 2026 ranks No. 52 in the nation with 13 players committed. One of its most recent commitments -- three-star safety Zachary Taylor -- headlines the class. If Combay were to commit to the Badgers, he would become the third defensive back to offer his pledge to Luke Fickell's program, joining both Taylor and three-star Carsen Eloms. While the Badgers' recruiting window is far from over, the program is searching for a return to the top 25 for the third consecutive year. Cowell's decision could significantly alter its position.
