Indiana basketball showing interest in Texas Tech transfer center Federiko Federiko
As Indiana basketball continues to build out its roster the need for a shot-blocking and rim-protecting big man remains high on the priority list. Texas Tech transfer Federiko Federiko is a new name added to the list of potential transfer additions.
Federiko played in 32 games — with six starts — for the Red Raiders in 2024-25 and averaged 5.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 0.7 blocks a game in 18.9 minutes. He shot 74.3 percent from the floor.
Federiko is a 6-foot-11 and 225-pound center who has great shot blocking ability and is a major threat in the paint on both ends of the floor.
During Texas Tech’s Elite Eight run in the NCAA Tournament, Federiko was critical in its Sweet Sixteen win over Arkansas, scoring seven points and adding nine rebounds.
His per-40 minute split averages this past season were: 10.9 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.6 blocks and just 4.4 fouls a game.
