Wisconsin Badgers target Zavier Zens commits to Illinois
Despite receiving strong in-state interest from the University of Wisconsin and an offer from a coach he was familiar with at Utah State, Wisconsin Lutheran senior and Mr. Basketball winner Zavier Zens is taking his talents to Illinois.
The senior announced his commitment in a post to X on April 17.
"What I was looking for was the best chance to develop, become the best player I can become," Zens told the Journal Sentinel exclusively in a phone call April 17. "Illinois, they arguably have the best team in the country coming in next year, and the chance to get to go up against them every day, along with the good development program and their record of developing guys, was really big to me. Obviously the fit and culture was right as well."
Zens Signs with Illinois
CHAMPAIGN, Ill.– Illinois head coach Brad Underwood announced Friday the signing of Class of 2026 forward Zavier Zens to a Big Ten Athletics Scholarship Agreement.
Zens is a 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward from Milwaukee. He is one of the most decorated players in the state of Wisconsin, helping lead Wisconsin Lutheran High School, under the direction of Coach Ryan Walz, to three consecutive state championships with a combined 88-2 record.
Zens was voted 2026 Mr. Basketball by the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), and he also was selected Gatorade Wisconsin Player of the Year and third-team All-American by MaxPreps. He averaged 23.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.4 assists as a senior on 62% shooting from the field, including 42% from 3-point range and 74% from the foul line as Wisconsin Lutheran went a perfect 30-0 en route to its third-straight state title, second in Division 1.
