Antione West Jr. could be Purdue’s next two-way pressure valve
Antione West Jr., a 6-foot-3 redshirt freshman guard for Purdue in the 2026 season, is being talked about as a future difference-maker because of his scoring instincts, on-ball defense, and ability to create for himself and others. He was a top-200 recruit nationally, ranked No. 18 among guards by ESPN, and chose Purdue over several major programs. After redshirting in 2025-26, he’s drawing praise for his work ethic and high motor, with reports from Purdue’s Canada trip and summer practices suggesting he may be ready to earn real minutes fast.
