Former Wisconsin basketball star wing A.J. Storr committed to Ole Miss on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.
The 6-foot-7 junior guard, who played for the Kansas Jayhawks during the 2024-25 season, will join his fourth program in as many college seasons, dating back to his freshman campaign at St. John’s.
Notably, Storr spent the 2023-24 slate with Greg Gard’s program in Madison. That season was easily his best — the Illinois native averaged 28.8 minutes, 16.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.9 assists while shooting 43% from the field and 32% from 3 as UW’s clear-cut No. 1 offensive option. His performance helped the team finish in the top five of the Big Ten standings and clinch an NCAA Tournament berth.
Storr earned a spot on the All-Big Ten Second Team that season and was named to the 2024 Big Ten All-Tournament Team after leading the Badgers to the title game against Illinois. He dropped at least 20 points in 11 of 36 games as a Badger, plus scored under 10 points just twice.
The standout guard elected to forgo the NBA draft and enter the transfer portal after that breakout season. He committed to Kansas, one of college basketball’s premier programs, as 247Sports’ No. 4 overall player in the transfer cycle. He struggled to develop a role with the Jayhawks, averaging just 15.7 minutes 6.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game, while shooting a career-worst 38.4% from the floor and 29% from 3. He finished with five points or fewer in 19 of the team’s 34 games, including six performances without a single point.
That turbulence didn’t appear to drastically impact Storr’s transfer stock, however. The rising senior reentered the portal after the 2024-25 campaign. He commits to Ole Miss as 247Sports’ No. 49 overall transfer and No. 10 small forward.

While brilliant in his one season at Wisconsin, Storr’s career is defined by the number of his stops. Prior to college, he played four seasons of high school basketball with four different schools — Kankakee High School (Illinois), Bishop Gorman High School (Nevada), AZ Compass Prep (Arizona) and IMG Academy (Florida). Ole Miss will mark his eighth new program in as many years.
Chris Beard and the Rebels will now roster Storr with hopes of rediscovering the capabilities he showcased with the Badgers. The Rebels enter 2025-26 looking to build off their Elite 8 appearance in the 2025 NCAA Tournament. The team will now do so with Storr as one of its leading options.
