Purdue's Scott Martin, one of four Boilermakers freshman who was critical in the team's success this season, is transferring.

Martin averaged 8.5 points and 3.8 rebounds to help Purdue to a surprising 25-9 overall mark and a 15-3 record in Big Ten play.

"I truly valued my time here at Purdue," Martin said in a statement. "I made many great friendships and met a lot of great people. I am thankful to the coaching staff and my teammates for the opportunity they have given me."

"I feel it is my best interest to take a different route for my basketball career," he added.

Purdue lost to Xavier in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
