The transfer portal is in full swing, and Indiana has started to get involved.

Indiana will visit with Harvard transfer Chris Ledlum on Thursday, according to a report from Adam Zagoria. 

Ledlum, a 6-foot-6, 225-pound forward on the 2022-23 All-Ivy League first team, averaged 18.8 points and 8.5 rebounds for Harvard as a junior. He shot 29.4 percent from 3-point range and 63.6 percent from the free throw line, along with 1.8 steals, 1.5 assists and 1.1 blocks per game. 

Ledlum was a major focal point at Harvard, scoring off the dribble, in the post and on catch-and-shoot opportunities. He's a capable ball-handler at 6-foot-6, and was also the Ivy League's leading rebounder. 

Check out his highlights below.

Since entering the transfer portal, Ledlum has drawn interest from Michigan State, Florida, Tennessee, Xavier, Gonzaga, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, St. John’s, UCLA, LSU, Michigan, Villanova, Oklahoma, Maryland, Virginia and Pitt, according to Zagoria. 

As a sophomore at Harvard, Ledlum averaged 16.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and shot 31.5 percent from three prior to an injury that limited him to 13 games. In 28 appearances off the bench and one start as a freshman, he averaged 7.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and shot 27.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Ledlum's hometown is Brooklyn, N.Y., but he first attended St. Peter's Boys High School in Staten Island, N.Y., followed by one year at Northfield Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts. He set single-season (939) and single-game (51) scoring records on his way to being named 2019 Gatorade Massachusetts Player of the Year. 

Ledlum was four-star recruit, ranked No. 96 in the class of 2019 on the 247Sports Composite. He chose Harvard over Georgetown, Notre Dame and Vanderbilt, among other offers.
