The 5-foot-9 Bargesser averaged 3.4 points per game last season at Indiana.
Bargesser led the Hoosiers in minutes off the bench each of the last two seasons while building a reputation as a facilitator and defensive stopper.
She helped Indiana to three appearances in the NCAA Tournament — including a Sweet 16 appearance in 2024 — while also helping the Hoosiers claim a Big Ten regular season title as a freshman in 2023.
“Really excited to get Lexus in a Ram uniform,” CSU coach Ryun Williams said in a news release. “She’s a very athletic, talented basketball player who has played at the highest level. She’s guarded the best players in the country from Caitlin Clark to JuJu Watkins to Britt Prince at Nebraska. She’s very competitive and is going to help our basketball team. We know we’re getting a winner and are excited to get her to Fort Collins.”

Bargesser signed with Indiana in 2022 as a top 75 prospect out of Grass Lake High School in Michigan. She was rated as the No. 48 by Collegiate Girls Basketball Report, No. 53 by All Star Girls Report and No. 67 overall by ESPN as a high school recruit.
Bargesser averaged 23.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 3.8 steals per game as a senior as she led her team to a state championship.
