Where 4 Former Boilermakers Are Playing College Basketball in 2026-27

When the 2026-27 college basketball season tips off, four former Boilermakers will be playing for teams other than Purdue. Aaron Fine is the only player who left the program following the 2025-26 season, but Will Berg, Myles Colvin and Camden Heide all departed after the 2024-25 campaign.

All four have found homes for the upcoming season, and Purdue Boilermakers On SI will continue to monitor their play throughout the season. Here’s a look at where each of those four guys will be playing this year.
