The announcement came from a video tweet by the university.

Wisconsin’s own @JJWatt is set to make his return to Camp Randall this May as our 2019 Spring #UWGrad speaker. https://t.co/Cks2LBzSFs pic.twitter.com/wr6IY80biF
In the video, Watt thanks the class of 2019 for selecting him to be the commencement speaker and how excited he is to be back at Camp Randall Stadium.
He jokingly adds that he hopes the university doesn't realize he hasn't graduated yet either and wouldn't mind a diploma finding its way to him either.
The ceremony will be held May 11 at Camp Randall Stadium.
