Purdue Basketball Lands Commitment From 2023 4-Star Recruit Dravyn Gibbs-Lawhorn
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Former McCutcheon high school star Dravyn Gibbs-Lawhorn, a consensus 4-star guard in the class of 2023, committed to play for Purdue basketball.
Gibbs-Lawhorn played for the high school in Lafayette before transferring to Real Salt Lake Academy in Herriman, Utah. He is the third-highest recruit for the Boilermakers in program history.

The 6-foot guard is the No. 30-ranked player in the nation for his class and the eighth at his position. His 0.9867 ranking from the 247Sports Composite falls only behind former Purdue stars E'Twaun Moore and Caleb Swanigan, the school's only five-star recruit.
Gibbs-Lawhorn is slated to join four-star guard Myles Colvin from Heritage Christian High School in Indianapolis at Purdue as part of the 2023 recruiting class. The duo currently gives the Boilermakers the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation.
