Purdue Among Finalists for 4-Star Big Man in 2026 Class

Purdue has made the short list for another top prospect in the 2026 recruiting class. Jamyn Sondrup, a 6-foot-9 center from Springville, Utah, has trimmed his list down to six schools.

Joe Tipton of Rivals reported the news on Thursday night. Along with Purdue, Sondrup is also considering BYU, Mississippi State, Utah, Utah Valley, and Washington.

Sondrup is a four-star player in the 2026 class, ranking No. 138 overall, per 247Sports. He's listed as the No. 16 center and the No. 6 prospect out of Utah.

Purdue showed interest in Sondrup early the recruiting process, extending an offer in the summer of 2024. At the time, the 6-foot-9 center was coming off a sophomore season at Springville High School in which he averaged 19.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game.

This past season, Sondrup averaged 16.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.5 blocks per contest. He also shot 61% from the floor.

Coach Matt Painter and his staff have done an excellent job on the recruiting front with the 2026 class. Although the Boilermakers have just one commitment at the moment, Purdue remains in the hunt for several of the top prospects in the cycle, with decisions coming in the next few months.
