Recruiting is a never-ending process in college football. So, although Purdue doesn't have a lot of verbal commitments in its 2026 class right now, it could see a major increase in numbers at any point soon.

Summer months are usually hot with recruiting news, as many players make commitment announcements before starting their senior year of high school. Before we get to that part of the calendar, let's take a quick look at how Barry Odom and the Boilermakers stand as May ends and we begin the month of June.

On June 1, Purdue held verbal commitments from seven players. The Boilermakers currently rank 14th in the Big Ten and 47th nationally in the recruiting rankings, according to 247Sports' Composite Rankings.

Here's the rundown of Purdue's current 2026 recruiting class, with all ratings coming from 247Sports.
