Purdue’s 3-Point Queen: Madison Layden-Zay Brings Experience, Range, and Edge
In the 2025-26 season, Madison Layden-Zay gives Purdue a veteran 6-foot-1 guard who has been a four-year starter, scored 1,022 career points, and became the program’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made. Her best card is obvious: elite perimeter shooting, but the less obvious value is her poise, two-way steadiness, and feel as a trusted floor spacer who fits in big moments. A noted team-first presence and comeback story after a 2024-25 season away from the court, she looks like a strong fit for any lineup that needs experience, shooting gravity, and a low-drama closer.
