4-Star Sharp-Shooter Jacob Webber Sets Official Visit Date to Purdue

Webber's official visit to Purdue will be just a month after receiving a scholarship offer from the Boilermakers. Coach Matt Painter and his staff extended an offer to the sharp-shooting forward in July.

Webber spent the last two seasons playing in Kearney, Neb. This past year, he averaged 21.7 points and 3.1 rebounds per contest. He also shot 46% from the field, 42% from three-point range, and 90% from the free throw line.

Per 247Sports, Webber ranks as the No. 90 overall prospect in the class and has received a four-star ranking. He is transferring to La Lumiere in LaPorte, Ind., for his final season at the prep level.

Jacob Webber's game

Over the last two seasons in Kearney, Webber has established himself as a quality three-point shooter. He's connected on 42% of all of his three-point attempts over the last two years, knocking down 171 shots from distance.

Webber is capable of putting the basketball on the deck and driving to the basket, but the strength of his game is behind the three-point arc. He can knock down shots in transition from long range, but is really good in spot-up situations or when coming off screens.

His game is similar to that of current Purdue guard Fletcher Loyer, who has become a stellar shooter for the Boilermakers over his first three seasons.

Webber has received other offers from Creighton, Cal, Cincinnati, Drake, Nebraska, Omaha, St. Louis, Washington, and others.
