Purdue transfer Mason Gillis officially signs with the Blue Devils

Former Purdue Boilermaker and Duke transfer Mason Gillis made his commitment official on Friday after the team announced his signing.

Former Purdue guard Mason Gillis made his Duke transfer commitment official on Friday morning, the team announced.

Gillis, a 6-foot-6 graduate transfer, won Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year en route to the national title game with the Boilermakers. He averaged 6.5 points and 3.9 rebounds per game, and he connected on 46.8% of his 3-point attempts.

The former Boilermaker played 132 games over the last four years, starting 63 times in that span, and he’s averaged at least five points per game in every season.

Over the course of the NCAA Tournament, Gillis averaged 3.3 points per game. He scored a season-high 16 points against Nebraska when he made five triples. The flamethrowing shooter took more than 75% of his shots from beyond the arc as a senior in 2023-24.

Gillis became the second transfer commitment on Wednesday, aligning with head coach Jon Scheyer just two days after former Syracuse forward Maliq Brown.

Gillis and Brown join returning starters Caleb Foster and Tyrese Proctor in Durham next season as the team’s veteran leadership. The team also awaits Cooper Flagg and five other elite freshmen in the 2024 recruiting class.
