Kevin Savage III commits to Purdue basketball for the 2027 class

Summary

Point guard Kevin Savage III announced his commitment to Purdue basketball during a live webcast on July 5, 2026. The four-star recruit from Marietta, Georgia, expressed his trust in the coaching staff and belief that he is the best fit for their system. Savage joins Purdue after the program sent Braden Smith, the NCAA's all-time assists leader, to the NBA. His success comes despite concerns about his size at 5-foot-11 and 160 pounds, but he is expected to contribute to Purdue's offensive strategy that supports point guards with strong big men and shooters. He aims to start his journey at the Big Ten level after winning championships at multiple levels.
