Former Badger commits to new school

Jordan Davis, who entered the transfer portal at the end of March, committed to play for Illinois State this upcoming season.

Former Badgers guard Jordan Davis, who entered the transfer portal at the end of March, announced Tuesday that he’s committed to play for Illinois State this upcoming season. Davis will officially leave Wisconsin after three seasons with Greg Gard’s team.

Davis and his twin brother Johnny committed to Wisconsin as a three-star recruits in 2019, both coming to Madison as top performers at La Crosse High School. While Johnny quickly blossomed into a star with the Badgers, Jordan had to earn his minutes as a role player off the bench.

Eventually earning and then relinquishing a starting role with Wisconsin following his brother’s departure to the NBA, Jordan Davis averaged 5.1 points and 3.5 rebounds this past season.

Considering how hard he played on the court and how he conducted himself off of it, there’s no reason to wish anything but the best for Davis with the Redbirds.
