Transfer from Northern Illinois joins Badgers
MADISON, Wis. — Xavier Amos, a 6-foot-8 forward, has signed with the Wisconsin men's basketball program, head coach Greg Gard announced on Monday.
Amos played two seasons at Northern Illinois where he averaged 13.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game in 25 starts this past season. He shot 49.6 percent from the floor, including 38.5 percent from 3-point range (40-for-104 3FG).
"We are really excited to welcome Xavier Amos to the Badger family," Gard said. "His size and skillset are very versatile, and we are excited about what he can do both on the offensive end and the defensive end. After meeting with Xavier and his family, we know this is a great fit for our program. Being from Chicago, he also has familiarity with Badger basketball. We feel that Xavier will blend right in with our culture and our vision."
Rated a four-star transfer by 247Sports, Amos had a career game on the road against Northwestern this past season, posting a career high 26 points and seven rebounds.
The Chicago, Illinois native was an all-state first team player at Whitney Young High School, where he led his team to the Chicago Public League title and finished runner-up in Illinois Class 4A in 2021-22.
