Former Badgers recruit Daniel Freitag heading to new program out west
Daniel Freitag, the top-flight recruit who spent one season with the Wisconsin basketball team, announced he was transferring from Buffalo to Oregon State on April 18.
Freitag, a 6-foot-2 sophomore, blossomed in a big way at Buffalo in 2025-26, averaging 19.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. His team finished 17-15 for the program's first winning season in four years, though the Bulls went 1-3 in the final four games of the season with Freitag sidelined by a concussion.
Freitag played just 14 games at Wisconsin, making one basket, as a freshman two seasons ago. He came into the program as the 11th-ranked point guard in the class by 247Sports, from Bloomington, Minnesota.
Oregon State was left on a bit of an island after the departure of numerous Pac-12 schools, essentially rendering the conference inactive for two seasons. But the Pac-12 will be operational again next year as a nine-school conference, with legacy programs Washington State and Oregon State joined by Boise State, Colorado State, Gonzaga, San Diego State, Texas State, Utah State and Fresno State.
