One of the best shooters in the 2025 transfer portal cycle is coming to Indiana.
Sam Houston transfer guard Lamar Wilkerson has committed to the Hoosiers after visiting Bloomington this weekend.
“Indiana felt like home,” Wilkerson said in an interview on the Field of 68 immediately after his announcement. “I’m ready to bring Hoosier basketball back.”
The 6-foot-5 Wilkerson picked IU over Kentucky, Auburn and Ole Miss. He also visited Kentucky after IU, giving new Hoosiers head coach Darian DeVries a massive portal win over Mark Pope and the Wildcats. Indiana and Wilkerson will face Kentucky in Lexington in December.
A product of Ashdown, Ark., Wilkerson is coming off his senior season during which he averaged 20.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. He was the best three-point shooter in Conference USA, shooting 44.5% from beyond the arc, which ranked seventh nationally. He averaged 3.4 made threes per game, which ranked sixth nationally, on 7.7 attempts. He totaled 109 made threes, which ranked 13th nationally.
For his three year Division-I career, Wilkerson has scored 1,340 points (14.3 ppg). He has shot 45.3% from the field including 40.3% from three on 511 attempts (5.4 attempts per game). He also played one season of junior college.
Wilkerson is the fourth transfer addition to IU coach Darian DeVries’ developing roster. He joins Tucker DeVries (West Virginia), Conor Enright (DePaul) and Reed Bailey (Davidson).
Wilkerson has one season of eligibility remaining.
