This story has been updated from its original format due to new information.
There's a chance Purdue adds to its 2028 recruiting class later this month. Four-star big man Jamyn Sondrup has set a commitment date, and the Boilermakers are among six schools in consideration to land the 6-foot-9 forward.
Sondrup will make his announcement on March 19 at 9 p.m. ET, per Sam Kayser of League Ready. Along with Purdue, the four-star talent is also considering BYU, Utah, Mississippi State, Utah Valley and Washington.
Sondrup is listed as a member of the 2026 recruiting class; however, Purdue Boilermakers On SI has learned that he plans to take a mission, so he would be a member of the 2028 class.
Purdue has already assembled a four-man recruiting class for the 2026 cycle, which ranks seventh overall per 247Sports' Composite Rankings. The Boilermakers do not currently have any commitments in the 2028 recruiting class.

Sondrup has been dominant at Springville (Utah) High School this season. The forward is averaging 17.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, according to MaxPreps. For his career, the 6-foot-9 star has scored more than 1,600 points and grabbed more than 960 rebounds.
Coach Matt Painter and his staff already feel great about the four-man recruiting class they have assembled in 2026. Adding a player like Sondrup would only provide the program with more frontcourt depth moving forward.
Per 247Sports, Sondrup ranks as the No. 134 player in the 2026 recruiting class.
What Sondrup would bring to Purdue
Purdue has been high on Sondrup for a few years now, offering the talented forward back in 2024.
Sondrup is a physical big man who can crash the glass at a high level and can score on the interior. He has a similar style to Kaufman-Renn, which allows him to play the four or the five, in situations where Purdue wants to play small ball.
The Boilermakers have already signed two bigs in the 2026 recruiting class: 7-foot center Sinan Huan and 6-foot-8 forward Rivers Knight. Theoretically, those two, along with Jack Benter and Daniel Jacobsen, could still be in Purdue uniforms when Sondrup would arrive on campus.
It would provide the Boilermakers with great depth in the frontcourt and would bolster the Boilers in the post for the foreseeable future.
Purdue's incoming recruiting class
Painter has already an elite 2026 recruiting class. The Boilermakers are brining in four-star point guard Luke Ertel, four-star shooting guard Jacob Webber, four-star center Sinan Huan and three-star power forward Rivers Knight.
With the Boilermakers losing Cluff, Kaufman-Renn, Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer and Liam Murpy, there are a lot of holes to fill on the roster. The Purdue staff has addressed essentially every position of needed heading into the 2026-27 season.
But as Purdue continues its quest to win Big Ten titles and compete for national championships, it needs to continue to build quality depth on its roster. The Boilers should have another great roster next season, and adding Sondrup to the mix would only enhance it.
