Nimari Burnett’s collegiate journey has been long and winding.
The former McDonald’s All-American started his career out at Texas Tech in 2020, transferred to Alabama following his freshman season, and has now transferred from Bama to Michigan.
The 6-foot-4 shooting guard missed the entire 2021-22 season after suffering a torn ACL. Burnett missed time this past season with a wrist injury, but Burnett played in 27 games (started 9) and averaged 5.6 points per game.
Burnett said he’s “going from one great school to another great school” and his reason for transferring wasn’t anything negative related to the Alabama program.
