Johnny Jager, a four-year starter at Bloomington South who played his first collegiate season at Wabash, is transferring to Indiana and will join the basketball program as a walk-on.

Jager, who averaged 15 points in 32 minutes per game last season at Division III Wabash, made the announcement on Tuesday afternoon on social media.

Blessed and thankful for Coach Crean and the opportunity to pursue a career in coaching and a lifelong dream of becoming a Hoosier as I intend on transferring to Indiana University and walking on as a member of the basketball team #iubb #BornAndRaised #HoosierNation

Jager is the second walk-on to join the program this offseason as former Vermont forward Zach McRoberts was added to the roster last month.

In 26 games at Wabash, Jager shot 39.6 percent from the field and 74.2 percent from the free throw line. He averaged 5.5 assists, 4.7 turnovers and 2.2 rebounds per game.
