BREAKING: Wisconsin basketball lands commitment from in-state 2026 SF

Wisconsin’s men’s basketball program landed a commitment from in-state class of 2026 small forward LaTrevion Fenderson on Sunday, per On3’s Joe Tipton.

Fenderson, a Racine, Wisconsin native, chose UW over opportunities at Iowa State and UW-Milwaukee. He is currently unranked by 247Sports at this early stage in the process, though Rivals lists him as a three-star recruit.

“I chose Wisconsin because of the commitment they showed to me,” Fenderson told On3’s Tipton. “This summer, coach Gard and staff came to almost every tournament I had to watch me play. I have received numerous calls and texts from coach Gard, assistant coaches and fans.”

Wisconsin extended its offer to Fenderson back in June of 2023. At the time, the 6-foot-5, 205-wing was just 15 years old.

During his junior season, the future Badger accounted for 22 points, 11 boards and a pair of dimes assists per appearance. As a sophomore, he flashed his potential with 17.1 points and nearly 11 rebounds per game.

At 6-foot-5, his ability to snare rebounds could serve as a luxury for UW’s backcourt when Fenderson arrives to campus. He will, however, wrap up his high school career at DME Academy in Delafield, WI, before making the collegiate jump.
