Former Indiana Hoosiers forward Bryson Tucker is staying in the Big Ten but transferring to the Washington Huskies according to multiple reports.

Washington men's basketball head coach Danny Sprinkle is getting a 6-foot-7, 200-pounder who averaged 5.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in 16 minutes per game in his lone season at Indiana in 2024-25 under Mike Woodson. Bryson Tucker shot 37.8% (48-of-127) from the floor overall, including 15% from three. 

Tucker, a former McDonald’s All-American is originally from Baltimore, Maryland and he began his high school career at Mount Saint Joseph. However, he transferred to Florida powerhouse program IMG Academy in Bradenton before his junior season.

Tucker was ranked as a five-star prospect by multiple recruiting services and finished as the No. 20 recruit nationally in the class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking

247Sports had Bryson Tucker ranked as the No. 28 overall prospect and a four-star.

The Maryland native had multiple offers coming out of the 2024 class from Kansas, Michigan State, Duke, Michigan State, Florida, Miami, LSU and others.

He was one of seven Indiana Hoosier players to enter the transfer portal this off-season, joining Gabe Cupps, Malik Reneau, Mackenzie Mgbako, Jakai Newton, Myles Rice and Kaanan Caryle being the only prospect that hasn't picked a school yet. Carlyle is reportedly considering McNeese State, Florida Gulf Coast, UAB and Florida Atlantic.

Tucker has three seasons of eligibility remaining in his career at Washington.

Head coach Darian DeVries has landed a solid prospect list in the portal including Tayton Conerway (Troy), Jasai Miles (North Florida), Lamar Wilkerson (Sam Houston), forward Reed Bailey (Davidson), Tucker DeVries (West Virginia via Drake) and Conor Enright (DePaul and Drake)
