247Sports has Savage ranked as the No. 46 overall prospect in the 2027 recruiting class, earning a four-star rating. He has received nine other offers, with Alabama, Arizona State, Auburn, Cincinnati, Florida State, George Mason, Hampton, Ole Miss and UCF also expressing interest.
Savage has proven to be an efficient shooter from behind the three-point line but it also capable of taking defenders off the dribble. He doesn't bring a tall stature to the floor, but uses his shiftiness and quickness to get around defenders.
Purdue has extended offers to three players in the 2027 class with the recent offer to Savage.
