Indiana adds high-scoring grad transfer
DYLAN SINN | The Journal Gazette
Tennessee-Martin graduate transfer guard Parker Stewart will play his final two seasons of eligibility at Indiana, the 6-foot-5 Stewart announced on social media Tuesday.
Stewart averaged 19.2 points and 4.6 rebounds while shooting 34.8% from 3-point range with Tennessee-Martin last season on his way to Second-Team All-Ohio Valley Conference honors. The team was coached by his father, Anthony Stewart, but the younger Stewart decided to transfer after the coach unexpectedly passed away Nov. 15 at the age of 50.
"This is the hardest decision of my life because I feel like I shouldn't be making it," Stewart wrote in a post on Twitter announcing his transfer. "I'm suppose(d) to still be playing with you on the sideline dad. ... I tried to think of where you would've told me to go now that you aren't here. ... Indiana felt right in my heart."
