Noah Reynolds has found his new home.

The former Peoria Notre Dame all-stater will play his next college basketball season at TCU, he announced Monday on social media.

Reynolds, a 6-foot-3 junior guard, announced at the end of last month he was leaving Wisconsin-Green Bay after one season to go through the NBA draft process, but would not hire an agent. He has one year of eligibility remaining.

"Let's Rock!" he posted on his Twitter account, adding a frog emoji to represent TCU's mascot Horned Frogs.

During the 2023-24 campaign, the 2020 Journal Star Boys Basketball Player of the Year averaged 20.0 points, 4.5 assists and 3.7 rebounds. He was named to the Horizon League first team and the league's newcomer of the year.

"Reynolds gives the Frogs another ball handler who is an elite scorer at all levels," wrote Nick Girimonte of Killer Frogs, an SI FanNation blog that covers TCU. Reynolds joins Arizona State transfer Frankie Collins as a second key transfer for the Big 12 Conference program.

Reynolds played two seasons at Wyoming, where he put up 14.5 points a game in 19 games as a sophomore. After leaving Wyoming, Reynolds originally announced his commitment to Wisconsin but never played for the Badgers. He eventually landed at Green Bay and teamed with his brother, Nic Reynolds, a first-year assistant, to help the Phoenix go 18-14 overall and 13-7 in Horizon League play.
