MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin men's basketball guard
Brad Davison has been granted a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA and will return to Wisconsin for the 2022-23 season. Davison was awarded a medical hardship for his 2017-18 season that was marred by a reoccurring shoulder injury.
"I've said all along that it's been my dream to be a college basketball player and compete at the University of Wisconsin and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have one more season in the red and white," Davison said. "I also want to thank Coach Gard for welcoming me back again and again and again and can't wait to get start a new chapter with my teammates and staff."
Davison, a native of Maple Grove, Minnesota, is scheduled to earn his master's degree in May and will immediately start pursuing his doctorate from the University of Wisconsin.
"We're thrilled to be able to have Brad on our roster for another season," head coach
Greg Gard said. "Brad has always said he wants to squeeze every drop out of the college experience and I guess he wasn't kidding. We've never had a player go through three Senior Days."
Davison will enter his sixth season ranked sixth in school history with 1,827 career points and already holds the UW records for career games played (160), starts (156) and minutes (5,147). A second-team All-Big Ten selection this season, Davison is one of just four players in Wisconsin history to record 1,500 points, 500 rebounds and 300 assists, joining Michael Finley, Nigel Hayes and Ethan Happ.
Badger fans, enjoy the rest of your April Fool's Day!
