Former Duck Kel’el Ware to transfer to Indiana Hoosiers

Kel’el Ware is heading to Indiana, picking the Hoosiers as his new team for the 2023 season.

We now know where home is for former Oregon Duck center Kel’el Ware.

According to a report from 247Sports Travis Branham, Ware, the former 5-star player and McDonald’s All-American who played one season with the Ducks, will be transferring to the Indiana Hoosiers for the next season of his college career.

After entering the transfer portal at the end of March and declaring that he would like to play the 2023 season with a new team, rather than going to the NBA Draft, Ware became one of the top available players in the transfer portal this year. As the former No. 11 ranked player in the 2022 class, it’s understandable why, despite is relatively disappointing production and low usage-rate under Dana Altman.

The Hoosiers had a successful 2022-23 season, finished 23-12 and 12-8 in the Big 10. Indiana was a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament, beating Kent State in the opening round before losing to the Miami Hurricanes in the second round.
