Wisconsin basketball forward announces transfer destination
admin_news
Wisconsin forward Chris Hodges committed to Montana State on Sunday.
The graduate transfer entered the portal earlier this month after four seasons with the Badgers. He originally joined the program as a three-star recruit in the class of 2021, choosing it over D-I offers from DePaul, Loyola, Miami (Ohio) and Rutgers.
The Schaumburg, Illinois, native redshirted as a true freshman in 2021-22. He then appeared in 40 games over the following three seasons, all in a reserve role. That time included 66 total minutes (30 in 2022-23, 21 in 2023-24 and 15 in 2024-25), four points, nine rebounds, two assists, a steal and four blocks.
Hodges joins a Montana State program that went 15-18 in 2024-25, missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time in four seasons. Several of those previous March Madness trips (2022, 2023) were under former coach Danny Sprinkle, who now leads the Washington Huskies. New coach Matt Logie is 32-36 overall in two full seasons at the helm, with an NCAA Tournament trip in 2024. His Bobcats finished the 2024-25 season ranked No. 189 in KenPom and No. 3 in the Big Sky Conference.

Notably, the Badgers defeated Montana State 79-67 in their second game of the 2024-25 season. Hodges did not see playing time during the contest.
The veteran forward is one of four scholarship players to transfer out of Wisconsin this offseason, along with Xavier Amos, Daniel Freitag and Camren Hunter. Amos is off to Loyola Chicago, Freitag to Buffalo and Hunter to Central Arkansas.
