Former Purdue basketball captain Ethan Morton will transfer to Colorado State

WEST LAFAYETTE − Former Purdue basketball captain Ethan Morton will have one more go 'round.

Morton, who announced he'd enter the transfer portal following Purdue's run to the NCAA title game, will play at Colorado State, he announced on his social media accounts.

Morton played four seasons at Purdue and started 29 games during his junior season in 2022-23. He is the second Boilermaker senior to find a new home via the portal. Mason Gillis committed to Duke earlier this month.

At Purdue, Morton appeared in 132 career games.

Last season, he was relegated to a defensive stopper role for the Boilermakers and scored just 24 points in 37 games.

For his Purdue career, Morton averaged 2.0 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists.

Morton will join a Colorado State program coming off a 25-11 season in which the Rams defeated Virginia in the First Four before losing to Texas in the NCAA tournament's round of 64.
