Former Notre Dame guard Markus Burton becomes one of top transfers to join Indiana
Burton averaged 18.5 points last season and becomes Indiana's sixth transfer addition under coach Darian DeVries.
On Monday, Indiana Hoosiers coach Darian DeVries announced that all-conference point guard Markus Burton officially joined the team as a transfer from Notre Dame.
The 2023 IndyStar Indiana Mr. Basketball Award winner earned the 2023-24 ACC Rookie of the Year Award and finished his Notre Dame career with 1,315 points, 232 rebounds, 259 assists, and 123 steals in 69 games.
Limited to 10 games last season by a left ankle injury, Burton averaged 18.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.6 steals in his shortened third season, shooting 48.9% from the field and 30.6% on 3-pointers.
Burton becomes the sixth transfer to join Indiana, arriving alongside 6-6 forward Darren Harris from Duke, 6-3 guard Bryce Lindsey from Villanova, 6-5 guard Jaeden Mustaf from Georgia Tech, 6-11 forward Aiden Sherrill from Alabama, and 7-2 center Samet Yigitoglu from SMU.
The 5-foot-11 Burton ranks among two top 25 players DeVries recruited from this year's transfer portal and previously led the ACC in scoring at 23.5 points per game during 2024-25.
