Ohio native Trey Burke set to join Wolverines next fall
University of Michigan men's basketball head coach John Beilein announced today (Thursday, Nov. 11) the signing of point guard Trey Burke (Columbus, Ohio/Northland H.S.) to a National Letter of Intent during the early fall signing period.
ANN ARBOR -- "In Trey Burke we are adding a proven winner and floor general to our basketball program," said Beilein. "He combines a competitive spirit, quickness and poise on the court to provide leadership, and his skill set allows him to impact the game as a passer, a scorer and a shooter."
Burke has prepped at Northland High School in Columbus, Ohio, for the last three years, helping the Vikings to a 71-3 record during that span with three straight undefeated (14-0) Columbus City North titles. As a sophomore Burke, who averaged 10.0 points and 8.0 assists, was part of Northland's OHSAA Division I State championship run, closing the season with a 27-1 record.
Last season, Burke averaged 14.5 points, 7.5 assists and 2.6 steals per game, guiding the Vikings to a 23-1 record, a No. 2 final ranking by the Associated Press Ohio High School Poll and a regional final appearance in the state playoffs. Burke was named Division I All-Ohio honorable mention, All-Central District Division I second team and All-Metro second team.
