Purdue guard Brandon Newman enters transfer portal
WEST LAFAYETTE − Brandon Newman's Purdue has been an up and down roller coaster.
From redshirt to starter to reserve to not even seeing the floor and ultimately back into the starting lineup.
Now, Newman's college basketball career may conclude elsewhere.
Newman has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal. He is the first Purdue player to enter the portal this offseason.
"Purdue, Can’t express enough how grateful I am for these last four years. The good times and the bad, that has molded me into the man I am today. This University will be a part of me and will travel with me everywhere I go. Forever and always. Love, 5," Newman posted on his Twitter account.
Newman averaged 6.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists last season, helping the Boilermakers win Big Ten regular season and tournament championships. Newman played in all 35 games, becoming a starter late in the season.
He'd been a regular starter as a redshirt freshman in 2020-21. As a redshirt sophomore the following year, Newman played in 25 games, averaging 12.6 minutes per contest.
