Indiana men’s basketball freshman forward Bryson Tucker entered the transfer portal, according to On3 Sports on Friday afternoon.
Tucker is now the seventh Hoosier to enter the portal since Indiana failed to reach the NCAA Tournament on March 16.
Junior forward Malik Reneau, sophomore guard Gabe Cupps, sophomore forward Mackenzie Mgbako, redshirt freshman guard Jakai Newton, redshirt sophomore guard Myles Rice and sophomore guard Kanaan Carlyle have all entered the transfer portal.
Cupps recently committed to play for Ohio State and is the only former Hoosier from last year’s team to commit elsewhere.
Tucker arrived at Indiana as a four-star recruit and a McDonalds All-American. The 6-foot-7 Bowie, Maryland, native was the only member of Indiana’s 2024 high school recruiting class.
The forward averaged 5.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.6 assists, on 37.8% shooting from the field during his freshman campaign. Tucker scored in double figures three times in 23 games this season, scoring 14 points against Eastern Illinois University and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and 16 points against Minnesota. The freshman did not see action in any of Indiana’s last 6 games of the 2024-25 season.
Indiana head coach Darian DeVries will have work to do in shaping the roster before next season. Tucker was the final rostered scholarship player with eligibility, pending senior forward Luke Goode’s fifth-year request.
Tucker will have three years of eligibility remaining in his college career.
