No. 1 Player in America Commits to Wisconsin Badgers Basketball, Over Texas, BYU, and Georgia……

Zach Kinziger, a three-star point guard in the class of 2025, announced On3 that he has committed to the Wisconsin Badgers and would be attending college in his home state. Despite having two years of high school left, the 6-foot-3, 175-pound De Pere (Wis.) High standout knew he had to go to college.

He told On3 that since he was a young child, Wisconsin had been his ideal school. It is difficult to beat performing at the top level in front of 17,000 spectators in my home state. I adore their winning tradition, culture, and coaching staff. It seems like the ideal fit for me and fulfills every requirement I have when selecting a school.

Kinziger won’t officially suit up as a Badger until 2025, but that gives him plenty of time to polish his game before his arrival in a couple of years. The rising junior guard had a strong summer playing for Team Herro 16U on the EYBL Circuit, averaging an impressive 17.5 points per outing. Kinziger self-described his game and notes what Wisconsin is getting in him as a player when the time comes.

“I would describe my game as a score-first combo guard but can also dish it out as well,” he says. “I am more of an outside player and seen as a shooter but I think I surprise people with my athleticism and ability to get to the rim. I also pride myself on my defense and my ability to do the little things such as rebounding and being scrappy.”

“You’re always going to get 100% out of me and I will do anything to help my team win. I am super excited to play in front of such an awesome and passionate fanbase and want to be apart of keeping the winning tradition at Wisconsin alive!”

According to the On3 Industry Rankings, Zach Kinziger is the No. 161 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle. He’s also the No. 25 point guard prospect. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
