Braden Smith: 2x All-American, 3x All-Big Ten
Description
Purdues senior point guard, Braden Smith, has been named a consensus All-American for the 2025-2026 season, earning second-team honors from The Sporting News. This recognition makes him the eighth Purdue player in the modern era to receive All-American nods twice, contributing to the schools five-year streak of having an All-American, the longest active streak nationwide. Smiths senior year has been impressive, with averages of 14.9 points, 8.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game. He is the only player this season to reach 450 points, 250 assists, and 100 rebounds, and he leads the Big Ten all-time in assists with 1,029. Smith will lead Purdue into the Big Ten Tournament, starting Thursday against the winner of the Indiana and Northwestern matchup.
