Kaufman-Renn had an outstanding career during his five seasons at Purdue. He redshirted his first season in West Lafayette, then continually carved out bigger roles for himself over the next two years.

The 6-foot-9 forward from Sellersburg, Ind., was a starter for the Boilers on the 2024 Final Four squad, averaging 6.4 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. Kaufman-Renn took a major leap in production from his sophomore to junior season.

In 2024-25, Kaufman-Renn emerged as one of the top scorers in college basketball. He averaged 20.1 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. He earned first-team All-Big Ten honors and was a third-team All-American selection. The forward also made 292 field goals that year, leading the country.

Kaufman-Renn closed out his career averaging 14.2 points and 8.3 rebounds for a Purdue team that finished with a 30-9 record, won the Big Ten Tournament, and reached the Elite Eight round of the NCAA Tournament.

The senior also had his "March Madness moment," making a game-winning tip-in to lift Purdue to a 79-77 win over Texas in the Sweet 16.

After a great career at Purdue, Kaufman-Renn is now looking to continue his basketball career. ESPN believes the forward is one of the top-100 prospects available in the 2026 NBA Draft, listing him at No. 88.
