    Drexel transfer guard Jason Drake has committed to Indiana following a visit to Bloomington this week.

    A combo guard who can facilitate and knock down threes, he gives the Hoosiers a third primary ball handler option on the roster along with additional scoring punch from beyond the arc.

    Drake was also expected to visit St. John’s this week but never made it there.

    The 6-foot-2 and 195-pound product of Oak Park, Mich. played in 33 games for Drexel in 2024-25. He averaged 26.1 minutes, 11.1 points, 3.1 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game. He shot 42.8% overall, including 39.6% from three on 101 attempts, and 86.5% from the stripe.

    Drake’s 23.5% assist rate was No. 258 in the nation in 2024-25, his free throw percentage No. 123, and his three-point percentage No. 237.

    In 2023-24, Drake played in 31 games for Butler Community College and started 27 times. He averaged 9.6 points, 3.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game and shot 47 percent from the floor and better than 42 percent from behind the arc.

    Drake played at Cleveland State as a freshman in 2022-23.  He saw limited action.

    As a prep prospect Drake attended Ferndale H.S. in the Detroit area where he led his team to back-to-back Michigan High School Athletic Association Division II Final Fours in 2021 and 2022.  Drake was an All-Michigan selection as a junior and senior.

    Assuming his junior college season doesn’t county against eligibility, Drake should have two years remaining.

    Drake is the eighth confirmed player on the team.  He joins Tucker DeVries (West Virginia), Conor Enright (DePaul), Reed Bailey (Davidson), Lamar Wilkerson (Sam Houston), Jasai Miles (North Florida), Tayton Conerway (Troy) and Trent Sisley (Montverde Academy H.S.).  Senior forward Luke Goode is seeking a hardship waiver to return to Indiana for a fifth season.
