IU player's six-figure donation was supposed to be secret, because 'it's a blessing'

BLOOMINGTON — Lamar Wilkerson didn’t want any of this to become public, because publicity was never the point.

Indiana ’s redshirt senior guard made news last week when he confirmed in an interview with Field of 68 that he pledged a six-figure donation to the men’s basketball program at Sam Houston State . Wilkerson played three years with the BearKats, where he was a two-time all-conference selection, before signing with IU as one of the highest-profile guards in last spring’s portal class.
