Oregon transfer Kel’el Ware, a former five-star recruit and McDonald’s All-American, committed to Indiana on Monday.

The 7-foot, 210-pound center averaged 6.6 points and 4.1 rebounds as a freshman in 2022-23 for the Ducks.

The Hoosiers were second in the Big Ten with a 23-12 record.

Ware visited Bloomington, Ind., last week and canceled a scheduled visit to Alabama over the weekend.

A top-10 recruit from North Little Rock, Ark., Ware participated in the 2022 McDonald’s All-American game. ESPN ranked him the eighth-best recruit in the class of 2022. He was one slot behind Duke’s Kyle Filipowski and one ahead of Alabama’s Brandon Miller.
