My name is Charlie Parent. I am a 20-year-old student journalist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I strive to work in the sports industry whether it’s communications, operations or reporting. As a national recruiting analyst, I’ve found passion in creating exposure for young athletes that don’t otherwise receive the media attention they deserve. I'm excited to develop my critical thinking and strategic communication skills through my internship with UW Athletics. Click on the photos below to view my recent work!

Recent Work : UW-Madison Athletics

Since August of 2023, I have worked for Wisconsin Athletics, covering, writing and posting for the communications department. During the Fall of 2024, I’ve primarily worked with the Badger football team. In my time with UW Athletics, I’ve covered live basketball, soccer, hockey, track & field and cross country events.

Recruiting

I’ve been covering college basketball recruiting for the past three years with New York Times contributor Adam Zagoria. As a national recruiting analyst, I’ve conducted interviews with over 200 players and coaches, tracked player commitments across their high school careers and formed valuable connections throughout the basketball community.
