The Michigan-Ohio State rivalry will have a new meaning for the Wolverines in the 2025-2026 college basketball season. Over a decade after he last stepped onto the hardwood at the Crisler Center, former Michigan basketball star Trey Burke will get his wish and see his jersey raised into the rafters.

The Michigan basketball team announced that it will honor Burke's number during a Jan. 23 home game against Ohio State. The game will be the Wolverines' 12th home game of the 2025-2026 season.

Michigan did not mention whether it would officially retire Burke's number or honor his jersey. The Wolverines technically have just one retired number — Cazzie Russell's No. 23 — but have honored four others.

The four other jerseys in the rafters include Bill Buntin's No. 22, Phil Hubbard's No. 35
