WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WANE) – After four years at Purdue University guard Brandon Newman announced that he will enter the NCAA transfer portal.

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,
