The men’s NCAA all-time leader in assists is staying in Indy 🔥

Welcome to the Blue & Gold, Braden Smith.

⭐⭐⭐ EDGE T.K. Cunningham has committed to football. 🚂

The 6’6” 240 LB defensive standout holds 50+ Division I offers and chose the Boilermakers over Florida State, Kentucky, Missouri, Michigan, Ohio State, Miami, Tennessee, LSU, Oklahoma, Auburn and dozens of other Power Four programs.

Cunningham has elite length and athletic upside, giving Purdue a very high ceiling piece at the EDGE position.

Let Barry cook! 😤

⭐⭐⭐ Sean "Shaq" Saint Fleur has committed to #Purdue football. 🚂

The DeMatha Catholic defensive lineman is one of the top prospects in Maryland and another really solid pickup for the Boilermakers.

At 6'4" and 270+ pounds, Saint Fleur has the versatility to play both defensive tackle and defensive end. He earned All-WCAC honors while competing for one of the nation's premier high school programs.

Purdue once again beat out a lot of schools for Saint Fleur including Georgia, Penn State, Maryland, Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, Missouri, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Syracuse and many others.

Another huge recruiting win for Barry Odom and staff as the Boilermakers continue to build momentum recruiting. #BoilerUp 🔥🚂

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Westfield Offensive lineman Nicholas Schurman has committed to #Purdue football. 🚂

Schurman is a 6’5 290 LB offensive tackle. The in state offensive lineman is athletic for his size and also was a starter on Westfield’s highly ranked Rugby team.

Throughout this cycle he had 20+ D1 offers including Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Virginia, Duke and Wake Forest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Safety Kaleb Elkins has committed to #Purdue 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The second four star and top 300 commit in the class comes from within the state of Indiana.

The 6’3 safety chose the Boilermakers over Alabama, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt.

Last season at Warren High School he totaled 61 tackles, and 8 interceptions.

Another HUGE pickup for Purdue football

3️⃣ months away…

When Braden Smith committed to Purdue in April 2021, I went to YouTube to watch his highlights and the first video below was at the top.

It starts off with a pair of Zionsville players, ahead of their sectional game with Westfield, referring to Smith (a junior at the time) as “rat boy”. Knowing what we know now about Smith’s competitiveness, that might as well have been a death wish.

Smith put 23 points and 8 assists on them, while playing on a broken foot, and led Westfield to its first ever sectional title, 61-47.

Video #2, also filmed by IncTapes, was watched shortly after and has Braden narrating the start. He had missed their game earlier in the season against Fishers while recovering from surgery on his broken foot.

Fishers won that game and Smith talks about them pressing while up 25 points.

Westfield ended up beating Fishers 62-44 the second time around, with Smith pouring in 28 points and 11 assists.

It honestly feels like yesterday that I was watching these videos. A player with the competitive streak & win-at-all-costs mentality of Braden Smith is rare and it’s a huge reason why he’s a lot of ours’ favorite player ever.

Opposing fans, please keep telling him that he can’t win a national title 🙏😏.
