Former Fishers star, Notre Dame transfer commits to perennial Elite Eight SEC team

Jalen Haralson, the Anderson native and former Fishers/La Lumiere star, has found a new home after spending one season at Notre Dame.

Jalen Haralson, the talented guard from Anderson, Indiana, has found a new home in the SEC. After one season with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the former Fishers and La Lumiere star has committed to the Tennessee Volunteers, a program known for its relentless defense and perennial presence in the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight.

Haralson's freshman year in South Bend was one of accelerated growth. Thrust into a starting role following a season-ending injury to teammate Markus Burton, he embraced the challenge. He finished the season averaging an impressive 16.2 points and 4.0 rebounds per game, showcasing his scoring ability with a career-high 26 points in a late-January showdown against Syracuse.

This move to Knoxville represents a significant step for the young guard. Under Coach Rick Barnes, Tennessee has established itself as a national powerhouse, consistently competing at the highest level. For Haralson, it's a chance to bring his scoring prowess to a system that demands toughness and could provide the perfect stage for the next chapter of his promising career.
