The celebration is scheduled for Jan. 23, 2026, when Michigan hosts Ohio State. Burke is a native of Columbus, Ohio.
Burke played two seasons in Ann Arbor from 2011-2013, scoring 1,231 points on 45% shooting while adding 416 assists, 242 rebounds, and 93 steals.
As a senior in 2012-13, Burke averaged 18.6 points, 6.7 assists, and 3.2 rebounds per game while shooting 46.3% from the floor and 38.4% from three. He led the Wolverines to their first 30-win season and Final Four appearance since the Fab Five.
His most iconic moment came in the 2013 Sweet 16 against No. 1 Kansas. Burke drilled a 30-footer with under 5 seconds remaining to tie the game and send it to overtime.
Michigan ultimately beat Kansas and marched all the way to the national championship game. Burke led the team with 24 points in the title game despite playing just 26 minutes due to foul trouble.
