Indiana has landed Markus Burton, a 5-foot-11 guard from Notre Dame, transferring in to boost the Hoosiers’ backcourt with proven scoring and leadership.

Burton, a former Notre Dame standout and 2024-25 ACC scoring leader at 21.3 points per game, joins Indiana after entering the transfer portal.

The move marks Burton’s return to school basketball in Indiana, where he will bring experience from a high-level conference and Duke-like protection on offense.

Indiana asks fans to follow the program on social media for updates on Burton and other roster developments.

As he transitions, Burton will adapt to Indiana’s system and expectations, with staff aiming to maximize his offensive impact while improving defensive consistency.

The transfer is effective for the upcoming season, with medical and coaching staff monitoring his health and readiness after a recent ankle injury.

Burton is a Penn High School product, adding a high-scoring guard option to the backcourt and potentially increasing scoring depth and playmaking.

This addition continues Indiana’s history of producing top talent, as Burton joins the program as the 30th former Indiana Mr. Basketball to wear Hoosier blue.

Indiana emphasizes adding an experienced guard who can contribute scoring and leadership, strengthening the roster around a proven producer.

The transfer positions Burton to make an impact with a seasoned guard who can lead and score for Indiana next season.

Burton has reportedly fully recovered from a broken ankle and looked sharp in spring workouts, with quickness returning in his dribble.

He appeared in only 10 games as a junior due to the injury, raising questions about durability heading into the transfer.
