It’s been a storybook season for Zach Edey and Purdue. On Tuesday, a journey three years in the making reached a meaningful milestone.
Edey was named the Big Ten’s Player of the Year, becoming the fifth Purdue player in school history and first since Caleb Swanigan in 2017 to win the award. After news broke of the honor, Edey shared a heartfelt message on Twitter, acknowledging the humble beginnings his career had at its onset.
“Took the day to take this in. Three years ago only 2 schools in this conference thought I was good enough to play at this level,” Edey wrote. “Life changes fast man.”
