The departure of a key scorer leaves Indiana's basketball program in a state of transition, requiring a full-scale roster rebuild.Elon TodayJunior guard Nick Dorn has entered the transfer portal, marking a significant departure for the Indiana University men's basketball team. Dorn, a 6-foot-7 guard, spent his lone season with the Hoosiers as a key perimeter threat, averaging 8.1 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. His exit is part of a larger roster overhaul, with 11 total players leaving the program since the end of last season.
Why it matters
Dorn's departure leaves a void in Indiana's offense, as he provided essential scoring depth and outside shooting to complement the team's top scorers. The Hoosiers now face a full-scale rebuild, with Coach Darian DeVries needing to overhaul the roster for the second consecutive year.
The details
Dorn started 12 games for Indiana and was the team's third-leading scorer, behind Lamar Wilkerson and Tucker DeVries. He shot 40.4% from the field and 38% from 3-point range, showcasing his ability to stretch the defense. Dorn's best stretch came during a 3-1 run in Big Ten play, where he averaged 20.3 points per game and hit 46.5% of his 3-point attempts. However, his production declined towards the end of the season, and he struggled in the team's loss to Michigan State on March 1.
- Dorn entered the transfer portal on April 9, 2026.
- He spent the 2025-26 season as a key contributor for Indiana.

What they’re saying
“Dorn had a little bit of a shooting slump, but we encouraged him to keep taking shots.”
— Darian DeVries, Indiana Head Coach
What’s next
Dorn will seek a third collegiate program in four years, following two seasons at Elon and one at Indiana. He retains another year of eligibility for the 2026-27 season.
The takeaway
The departure of Nick Dorn, combined with 10 other players leaving the Indiana roster, leaves the Hoosiers in a state of transition. Coach DeVries must now oversee a full-scale rebuild of the program for the second consecutive year, as he looks to rebuild the roster and find new scoring options to complement Lamar Wilkerson.
