Wisconsin men’s basketball looks to be gaining some more international players.
According to his agent, Australian guard Owen Foxwell has committed to Wisconsin. Foxwell was originally committed to LSU.
In 2025-26, the 22-year-old guard averaged 11 points, 4. 5 assists, and three rebounds per game for the South East Melbourne Phoenix in Australia’s National Basketball League.
The 6-foot-2 guard joins New Zealand guard Jackson Ball and in-state guard LaTrevion Fenderson as the third member of UW’s 2026 recruiting class. Ball, 17, has also played in Australia’s NBL for the Illawarra Hawks.
The Badgers’ most recent addition leaves them with at least four open spots on the roster as the transfer window approaches, but that number might increase if more players leave. John Blackwell, Jack Janicki, Zach Kinziger, and Hayden Jones are among the guards who have the opportunity to return.
UW coach Greg Gard has remarked favorably of foreign recruits’ readiness in the past.
“Even though they are freshmen in the program, their experiences have put them ahead,” Gard said before Jones and Aleksas Bieliauskas’ first years. “They’ve performed on the world stage. They’ve participated in the usual tasks that we do. “
