Early life and high school

Once COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, he and his brother resumed training under coach Will Tschetter.

Throughout the 2024-25 season, Madsen started in 33 games and averaged 15.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game while shooting 37.1% from the field and converting 32.2% of his three-point attempts.
