Colvin is the first Purdue basketball recruit for the class of 2023. He was the first player to visit West Lafayette once the NCAA dead period ended on June 1. Colvin pledged to Purdue over offers from Indiana and Butler.
The 6-foot-5, 190-pound guard is a rising junior and is currently unranked by major recruiting outlets. Colvin is a member of the 2023 Indy Nets Basketball Elite Club.
At Heritage Christian last season, Colvin averaged 18.5 points and 6.2 rebounds as a sophomore and can score from all three levels.
