The college basketball season may still be months away, but Purdue basketball's creative team is keeping fans engaged throughout the summer. This week, the program posted a hilarious video featuring senior guard Fletcher Loyer, and everyone certainly seemed to enjoy it.
Purdue's video, shared below, features an instructor taking attendance during a summer class. After calling a few names of students, he arrives on Loyer's name, who then proceeds to go through a starting lineup introduction.
Here is the clip, which is reminiscent of some of the old "This is SportsCenter" commercials that aired on ESPN.

Loyer has become a fan favorite during his time at Purdue and has been a major contributor for the Boilermakers over the last three seasons. The senior guard is a two-time All-Big Ten honorable mention and is a member of the program's 1,000-point club.
Last season, Loyer averaged 13.8 points per game and shot 44.4% from three-point range. For his career, he's averaging 11.6 points per contest and owns an impressive 40.0% shooting percentage from long range.
Many are excited to hear Loyer's name called for those starting lineup introductions inside Mackey Arena again this year. Purdue opens up the 2025-26 regular season on Tuesday, Nov. 4, hosting in-state foe Evansville.
