Former Indiana men's basketball center Dallas James will spend his senior season at at Morgan State University, the Bears announced in an Instagram post earlier this week.

The 7-foot-1, 240-pound James transferred from South Carolina State University to Indiana before the 2024-25 season but didn't make an appearance during the regular season.

The son of longtime NBA veteran center Jerome James, who played 11 seasons in the NBA with the Sacramento Kings, Seattle Supersonics and New York Knicks, played his first four college seasons in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference at South Carolina State. James played in 70 total games and he averaged 1.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 9.5 minutes per game while shooting 58.3 percent from the floor.

Morgan State is a Division I school in Baltimore, Maryland and also competes in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. The Morgan State Bears went 14-18 overall and 7-7 in conference play last season.
