Just over a week after winning the Nebraska state championship in stunning, comeback fashion, 2021 Wisconsin commit Chucky Hepburn was named the Nebraska’s Gatorade player of the year.
Hepburn led Bellevue West to the Nebraska state championship after a thrilling comeback in the final few minutes to knock off powerhouse Millard North. The point guard averaged 17.3 points, 6.5 assists, and 4.6 rebounds as a junior this season. The 6-1 point guard is regarded as a three-star recruit by Rivals, and chose the Badgers over the likes of Creighton, Minnesota, and in-state Nebraska.
The Badgers have a solid point guard and now an award-winning point guard coming to Madison in 2021.
