Myles Colvin, the former Purdue and Wake Forest guard, has found his next basketball home. The Indianapolis native and Heritage Christian graduate announced his commitment to the Cincinnati Bearcats on Friday, marking his third school as he enters his fourth season of collegiate play.
Colvin, a 6-foot-5 guard with a notable pedigree as the son of former Purdue and NFL star Roosevelt Colvin, brings a proven scoring punch to the Big 12. After two seasons with the Boilermakers, including a run to the 2024 National Championship game, he transferred to Wake Forest where he flourished. Last season, he started 24 games, averaging 11.6 points and 4.4 rebounds while showcasing an efficient shooting stroke from deep and the free-throw line.
His time with the Demon Deacons was highlighted by explosive performances, including a 33-point outing and a dramatic buzzer-beater to win the Baha-Mar Championship. Now, he joins new Cincinnati head coach Jerrod Calhoun, looking to make an immediate impact in a competitive conference.
For a player with Final Four experience and a versatile offensive skillset, Colvin's move to Cincinnati represents a fresh start and a chance to lead. His journey through the transfer portal underscores the modern landscape of college basketball, where talented players seek the perfect fit to showcase their abilities and elevate their team.
