Wisconsin Badgers redshirt freshman guard Jack Janicki is returning for the 2025 season, he announced on Friday.

He joins sophomore Nolan Winter as the players who have publicly announced their return to Wisconsin, while sophomore guard John Blackwell announced his intentions to enter the 2025 NBA Draft, while maintaining his college eligibility.

Janicki stepped into a bigger role in 2024 after redshirting his freshman season, playing 11.4 minutes per game as a reserve guard off the bench. He’s now set for an even bigger role in 2025, as Wisconsin is losing guards Max Klesmit, John Tonje, Kamari McGee, Camren Hunter, and Daniel Freitag.
