 ==College career==
-Wahl chose Wisconsin after receiving offers from [[Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball|Minnesota]], [[Northwestern Wildcats men's basketball|Northwestern]], [[Butler Bulldogs men's basketball|Butler]], [[Northern Iowa Panthers men's basketball|Northern Iowa]], [[Iowa State Cyclones men's basketball|Iowa State]] among other offers.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://badgerofhonor.com/2018/11/14/wisconsin-basketball-wahl-signs/|title=Wisconsin Basketball: Tyler Wahl signs with the Badgers|website=badgersofhonor.com|date=November 14, 2018|access-date=January 22, 2024}}</ref>
 ===Freshman season===
+As a freshman, Blackwell came into a guard heavy roster for the Badgers. Blackwell's ability to shoot, penetrate and guard on the perimeter gave him minutes early in the season.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wisconsin.rivals.com/news/freshman-john-blackwell-quickly-blossoming-into-integral-off-ball-piece|title=Freshman John Blackwell quickly blossoming into integral off-ball piece|website=wisconsin.rivals.com|date=November 17, 2023|access-date=January 23, 2024}}</ref>
-Wahl came in as a highly touted freshman but the Badgers already had experienced forwards [[Nate Reuvers]], [[Micah Potter]] and [[Aleem Ford]]. However, his talent was evident and coach [[Greg Gard]] had to carve out a role for Wahl. Gard saw Wahl as a "swiss army knife" someone who could be a [[point guard]] and distribute the ball, defend the opposing team's best player, slide over to take a charge or be the primary scorer.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://theathletic.com/1300507/2019/10/17/hes-the-ultimate-utility-guy-freshman-tyler-wahl-could-provide-a-boost-to-wisconsins-frontcourt/|title=‘He’s the ultimate utility guy’: Freshman Tyler Wahl could provide a boost to Wisconsin’s frontcourt|date=October 17, 2019|access-date=January 22, 2024}}</ref> He appeared in all 31 games including 3 starts averaging 2.5 points and 2.6 rebounds while playing 15.5 minutes per game as a true freshman.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.buckys5thquarter.com/2020/9/4/21418470/wisconsin-badgers-basketball-returning-player-profile-wing-tyler-wahl|title=Wisconsin basketball returning player profile: Tyler Wahl|website=[[The Athletic]]|date=September 4, 2020|access-date=January 22, 2024}}</ref>
-===Sophomore season===
-Wahl was able to carve out a larger role even with a heavy senior laden Wisconsin roster. He played 31 games and started the final 18 games of the season. He was the teams second leading rebounder with 4.3 per game. Wahl was really starting to assert himself on the court as his playing time and confidence grew on the court.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2020-12-08/sophomore-college-basketball-players-who-have-made-impressive-leaps-2020-21|title=The numbers show these sophomore college basketball players have made big leaps in 2020-21|website=ncaa.com|date=December 10, 2020|access-date=January 22, 2024}}</ref> Wahl showed his all around skills during a victory against [[2020–21 Green Bay Phoenix men's basketball team|UW–Green Bay]] when he scored 11 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/boxscores/2020-12-01-17-wisconsin.html|title=Green Bay vs. Wisconsin Box Score (Men), December 1, 2020|website=sports-reference.com|date=December 1, 2020|access-date=January 22, 2024}}</ref>
-===Junior season===
-Wahl was a big part of the 2021–22 season for the Badgers as they won a share of the Big Ten regular season title. He improved in all aspects of his game improving his scoring, field goal percentage, free throw percentage, rebounding, assists, steals and blocks. He was tabbed as the "glue guy" for the Badgers by coach [[Greg Gard]]. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.si.com/college/wisconsin/basketball/2021-season-review-tyler-wahl|title=Wisconsin basketball 2021-2022: Tyler Wahl's season in review and top overall performances|website=si.com|date=March 24, 2022|access-date=January 22, 2024}}</ref> Wahl scored 20 or more points three different times during the season but none was more complete than the victory over the 16th ranked [[2021–22 Ohio State Buckeyes men's basketball team|Ohio State Buckeyes]]. Wahl put up 20 points on 8 of 10 shooting (2–4 3FG), 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in the top 20 matchup. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/boxscores/2022-01-13-19-wisconsin.html|title=Ohio State vs. Wisconsin Box Score (Men), January 13, 2022|website=sports-reference.com|date=January 13, 2022|access-date=January 22, 2024}}</ref> Following the season, Wahl was named Big Ten honorable mention.
