County has now received eight offers on the recruiting trail: BYU, Cal, Houston, Purdue, Stanford, UC Santa Barbara, Utah and Utah State.
Per 247Sports, County ranks as the No, 72 overall prospect in the 2026 recruiting class. He's also considered a top-20 shooting guard and the No. 4 player from Utah.
Purdue has been active with the 2026 recruiting class in recent days. Matt Painter and his staff have offered five players since late last week. In addition to County and Sondrup, the Boilers have also extended offers to three-star forward Colben Landrew, in-state guard Luke Ertel and Tennessee forward Trey Thompson.
With the latest offers, Purdue has now offered 11 players in the 2026 recruiting class. Painter and his staff have wasted no time in talking with the prospects they believe can help the Boilermakers in future seasons.
