The Indiana University basketball program announced three significant transfer portal additions on Monday, highlighted by the commitment of Notre Dame guard Markus Burton, who gets to stay in his home state for his next chapter.
Burton will be joined by Duke forward Darren Harris and Georgia Tech guard Jaeden Mustaf, all three announcing their decisions to become Hoosiers on the same day.
The Notre Dame transfer brings impressive scoring credentials despite battling injuries over his past two seasons. Burton missed five weeks during the 2024-25 campaign after suffering a knee injury in late November. His most recent season was cut short when he required surgery for a left ankle injury sustained on December 5.
Throughout his three-year career with the Fighting Irish, Burton compiled strong numbers across 69 games with 68 starts. He posted 19.1 points per game while shooting 43.8% from the field and 33.2% from beyond the arc, also contributing 3.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals per contest. His accolades include ACC Rookie of the Year honors in 2023-24, along with third-team All-ACC recognition that season and second-team honors for 2024-25.
Harris brings a 6-foot-6 frame to Indiana’s wing position after spending two seasons coming off Duke’s bench. The former top-40 national recruit from the 2024 class contributed 2.8 points per game in 8.4 minutes of action across 57 appearances with the Blue Devils.
Mustaf, like Harris, was rated as a four-star prospect in the 2024 recruiting class and had previously shown interest in Indiana before choosing Georgia Tech. During his time with the Yellow Jackets, he appeared in 55 games with 33 starts, averaging 9.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. His three-point shooting was particularly strong in 2025-26, connecting on 38.9% of his attempts while averaging 10.4 points per game.
