Nolan Winter is set to return to the Wisconsin Badgers for the 2026-27 season, as confirmed by his agency. Last season, he was a standout player, averaging 13.1 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, and recorded 12 double-doubles. This places him among the elite players in UW history, as only Frank Kaminsky and Ethan Happ have achieved more than 10 double-doubles in a single season since 2000. With key players like Nick Boyd and John Blackwell leaving the team, Winter will be the Badgers' top returning scorer and the only returning starter.
