Former Wisconsin guard Luke Haertle reentered the transfer portal on Thursday.
The Hartland, Wisconsin, native transferred from Wisconsin after the 2023-24 campaign, eventually committing to Winona State (D-II). Haertle excelled during his one season with the Warriors. He started 32 of 33 games, averaging 35 minutes (team-high), 17.2 points (team-high), 6.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists (team-high) while shooting 44.5% from the field and 28.9% from 3. The former Badger also led the team in steals (56) and blocks (14).
Haertle led a Winona State team that went 22-11 overall and 14-8 in conference play in 2024-25. Its season concluded with a loss to MSU Moorhead in the NCAA DII Central Region semifinals.
The former Badger reenters the portal with two years of eligibility remaining.
The 6-foot-4 guard originally joined Wisconsin as a preferred walk-on ahead of the 2022-23 season. He redshirted as a true freshman, then appeared in 11 games in 2023-24, totaling one shot attempt and two rebounds in 11 minutes.
