Senior Braeden Carrington has signed with the Wisconsin men’s basketball team, head coach Greg Gard announced Wednesday.

“Braeden brings three years of college basketball experience to our program along with a level of maturity and understanding of the Big Ten that is crucial in today’s landscape of roster composition,” Gard said in a press release. “We’ve followed his career since he was in high school where he won a state championship in Minnesota. He knows our program and several of our current and former players very well which made for an easy and comfortable transition for him to come back to the Big Ten. We’re excited to have Braeden on campus starting in June as we prepare our team for the 2025-26 season.”

A 6’5″ guard, Carrington, a native of Brooklyn Park, MN, spent his first two seasons of college basketball at the University of Minnesota before playing at Tulsa during the 2024-25 season.

As a member of the Golden Hurricane, Carrington played in 29 games, making 19 starts while averaging 7.4 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.

“I’m excited to be a part of a winning program,” Carrington said. “They have been solidified in the Big Ten for plenty of years. It’s a great coaching staff and I’m excited to get to Madison.”
