Overview

  • Michigan announced a ceremony to honor Burke’s number during the home game against Ohio State on Jan. 23, 2026.
  • Burke will become the sixth Wolverines great honored in the rafters and the first since Bill Buntin in 2006.
  • The program did not state whether No. 3 is formally retired, and coverage differs on whether this is a retirement or an honor; Michigan has historically kept most honored numbers in circulation.
  • Burke, the 2013 National Player of the Year who led Michigan to the NCAA title game, averaged 16.9 points and 5.7 assists over two seasons before being drafted ninth overall.
  • The first 5,000 fans at the Jan. 23 game will receive a replica No. 3 jersey banner, and No. 3 remains in use for current players, including reported assignment to transfer guard Elliot Cadeau.
