Indiana lands Notre Dame’s Markus Burton among 3 transfers

Indiana picked up three commitments from the transfer portal on Monday, one of whom doesn't have to leave the state to enroll at his new school.

Notre Dame guard Markus Burton, Duke forward Darren Harris and Georgia Tech guard Jaeden Mustaf each announced they are joining the Hoosiers.

Burton has been a productive scorer in his three years at Notre Dame, but the past two seasons were disrupted by injuries. In 2024-25, a knee injury in late November sidelined him for five weeks. This past season, a left ankle injury Dec. 5 required surgery and he missed the rest of the campaign.

In 69 career games (68 starts), Burton has averaged 19.1 points per game on 43.8% shooting (33.2% from 3-point range) while adding 3.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game. He was ACC Rookie of the Year for 2023-24, a third-team All-ACC pick that same year and a second-team selection for 2024-25.

Harris, a 6-foot-6 wing, is a former top-40 high school recruit in 2024 who came off the bench in his two years at Duke. He has averaged 2.8 points in 8.4 minutes per contest over 57 games.

Mustaf joined Harris as a four-star prospect in the Class of 2024 and showed interest in Indiana before committing to Georgia Tech. In 55 games (33 starts) for the Yellow Jackets, he has put up 9.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, including 10.4 ppg on 38.9% shooting from distance in 2025-26.
