Purdue sophomore wing Myles Colvin has reportedly entered the NCAA transfer portal, making him the third Boilermaker to do so since the team’s season ended in the Sweet 16. Colvin follows junior Brian Waddell and redshirt sophomore Will Berg in exploring new opportunities. The move signals potential roster changes for Purdue heading into the 2025-26 season.
Colvin’s Growth and Impact During Two Seasons with the Boilermakers
Joe Tipton of On3 Sports first broke the news of Colvin’s decision on Monday. During the 2024-25 season, Colvin averaged 5.4 points and 2.6 rebounds per game. Purdue finished the year with a 24-12 record, adding another strong season under head coach Matt Painter. Despite playing a supporting role, Colvin’s contributions were valuable, and he showed potential as a rising player.
Myles Colvin (NCAA)Colvin’s playing time increased significantly from his freshman to sophomore season. As a freshman in 2023-24, he played in 31 games and averaged 8.5 minutes per contest. That year, Purdue won the Big Ten regular-season title and made it to the National Championship Game. In his second season, Colvin earned occasional starts and averaged 17.8 minutes per game, providing depth to the Boilermakers’ rotation.
Clutch Performances and Strong Ties Shape Colvin’s Next Basketball Journey
One of Colvin’s best performances came during the Rady Children’s Invitational in November, where he scored 20 points and made a game-winning putback to secure an 80-78 win over Ole Miss. His impact carried into March Madness, where he delivered a highlight-reel putback dunk in Purdue’s opening-round victory over High Point. These moments showcased his athleticism and ability to step up in key situations.
As Colvin enters the transfer portal, he has two years of eligibility remaining. A native of Indianapolis, he was a four-star recruit out of high school, bringing high expectations to Purdue. His family has strong ties to the university—his father, Rosevelt, played football for Purdue, and his sister, Raven, was a volleyball standout. Now, he looks for a new program where he can further develop his skills and playing time.
