Purdue Adds 7-Footer Sinan Huan to 2026 Class Featuring Two Top-60 Signees

The four-player group addresses lineup gaps created by looming departures.

Overview

  • Purdue secured a commitment from 7-foot center Sinan Huan, per Rivals’ Joe Tipton, joining Luke Ertel, Jacob Webber and Rivers Knight in the 2026 intake.
  • Ertel (No. 48 nationally) and Webber (No. 55) are top-60 prospects in the 247Sports composite, while Huan is a four-star top-10 center and Knight is a three-star forward.
  • Ertel, Webber and Knight signed during the early period that opened Wednesday, while Huan’s pledge has been reported but is not yet a signing.
  • Coaches and outlets characterize the class as a high-end group built to offset at least five Purdue players exhausting eligibility, including four starters, with the program expected to return seven scholarship players and one starter.
  • Huan continues Purdue’s annual run of rostered seven-footers since 2012–13 and arrives with elite rim protection credentials from the 2025 FIBA U19 World Cup, where he averaged 5.0 blocks per game.
