Daniel Jacobsen Signs with Purdue

The Purdue Boilermakers have signed 7’3 center Daniel Jacobsen out of Chicago, Illinois to their 2024 class. The reclassified center from the 2025 class becomes the next seven footer for the Boilers who have enjoyed a consistent line of big men 7’ or taller since the 2012 season (AJ Hammons, Isaac Haas, Matt Haarms, Zach Edey, Will Berg). Jacobsen is playing his final season with Brewster Academy, a program where former Boiler Aaron Wheeler also played, will join the Boilermakers after initially being in the 2025 class. Jacobsen also seriously considered the Wisconsin Badgers while holding offers and interest from Boise State, Tulsa, New Mexico State, Illinois, Xavier, Clemson, Iowa, Northwestern, and NC State.
