Most of the transfer portal activity has concluded and Big Ten rosters are taking shape for the 2025-26 season.
Today, we’re updating the Big Ten rosters for the 2024-25 season and also listing the number of scholarship players currently on each roster.
Editor’s notes:
– All players listed under NBA draft/professional route/out of eligibility will not return to school unless noted as testing the NBA draft.
– Walk-ons are not included unless they have played significant minutes.
– Players who have entered the portal without eligibility remaining are listed under “out of eligibility” rather than in the portal.
– Please contact us via email if any omissions or errors are spotted.
