The Wisconsin Badgers basketball team quickly made an impact on Nick Boyd, the 6’3 guard from San Diego State Aztecs, after he entered the transfer portal last week.
According to a Badgers insider, Wisconsin wasted no time in hosting Nick Boyd for a visit, wrapping it up just days after his transfer portal announcement.
A source informed BadgerNotes that Boyd, a San Diego State transfer with Final Four experience and a strong résumé, was initially set to take an official visit over the weekend but ended up visiting earlier in the week instead.
While Wisconsin was the first to get him on campus, it doesn’t guarantee anything, as the senior guard plans to explore other programs.
Boyd is currently visiting North Carolina, with Syracuse and Seton Hall also emerging as potential contenders, along with other programs. His decision could be influenced by proximity to his home state of New Jersey.
Wisconsin Badgers’ Guard Situation and Interest in Nick Boyd
With last season’s starters John Tonje and Max Klesmit moving on, along with Kamari McGee completing his final season, Wisconsin has key backcourt spots to fill. Jack Janicki and John Blackwell, the team’s second-leading scorer for the 2024-2025 season, are expected to step into those roles.
With one year of eligibility remaining, Boyd could step in to help replace the departures of Tonje and Klesmit, bringing valuable experience and leadership in high-pressure games.
Last season, he appeared in 31 games for the Aztecs, averaging 13.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per contest.
His shooting ability—something Badgers fans appreciate—makes him a reliable offensive weapon. He connected on 41.1 percent of his shots from the field and 35.1 percent from beyond the arc.
