Sparks started in all 62 games he played in for Ball State, averaging 13.7 points and 8.7 rebounds per game last season before entering the transfer portal. Also notable is the fact that he averaged nearly two assists per game as a center, a key stat for an Indiana team looking to replace four assists per game from Trayce Jackson-Davis.
