“Having Victory coming to our program is a terrific addition to our team,” Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard said, via release. “He’s an extremely talented, athletic front-line player that gives us excellent rim pressure in transition, lob threats in the half-court, shot blocking capability and relentless rebounding.

“In addition to complementing our roster plan very well, he is an extraordinary person who Badger fans are going to love getting to know. We can’t wait until we can begin working with him when he arrives in June!”

Onuetu is the second player to commit to Wisconsin for the 2026-27 college basketball season. Former George Washington guard Trey Autry announced his commitment during the week. He arrives in Wisconsin as an incoming senior who averaged 11.0 points per game on a 38.5% clip from the 3-point line.

Wisconsin is coming off its third-straight NCAA Tournament appearance as a No. 5 seed. The Badgers finished the season 24-11 overall, including a 14-6 record vs. the Big Ten Conference.
