MADISON – Daniel Freitag is will take his talents to the Empire State.
The former Wisconsin Badger announced his commitment to Buffalo on Thursday night. He will play for George Halcovage, who was an assistant at Villanova when the Wildcats won national titles in 2016 and ’18.
Freitag shared the news on X and Instagram with a post that showed him in a Buffalo uniform.
“Committed,” he wrote followed by a heart emoji.
Freitag, a 6-foot-2 freshman guard from Bloomington, Minnesota, played in 14 games this past season for Wisconsin, scored two points and grabbed four rebounds. He has three years of eligibility remaining.
The Bulls went 9-22 this season with a 4-14 mark in the Mid-American Conference finished 11th out of 12 teams.
That said, the program isn’t a stranger to success. It capped a run of four straight MAC titles in 2019.
Freitag is the third former Wisconsin player for this season’s team to find a new home. Point guard Camren Hunter went back to Central Arkansas and forward Xavier Amos committed to Loyola Chicago.
