Brandon Newman, a guard from Western Kentucky, commits to Oklahoma State
Brandon Newman has been coached by Oklahoma State head coach Steve Lutz at Western Kentucky and Purdue.
STILLWATER, Oklahoma: This season, Steve Lutz will be a recognizable sight on the floor.
Guard Brandon Newman of Western Kentucky, who followed Lutz from Bowling Green, Kentucky to Stillwater, made his commitment to Oklahoma State on Friday night.
This season, the 195-pound, 6-foot-5 guard averaged 10.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game.
Before joining the Hilltoppers, Newman began his career at Purdue, where Lutz coached him for a season while Lutz was the Boilermakers’ assistant. After sitting out the 2019–20 campaign, he played in 28 games as a redshirt freshman, averaging 8.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.3 assists while shooting 37.9% from outside the arc and 39.8% from the field.
Newman, a Valparaiso, Indiana native, was a four-star prospect in 2019 who choose Purdue over Ohio State, Creighton, Indiana, and Kansas State.
Joining a 2024 signing class that also includes FIU guard Arturo Dean, Texas Tech forward Robert Jennings, UCF forward Marchelus Avery, and high school signee Jeremiah Johnson, Newman becomes Lutz and Co.’s seventh transfer portal commit. These six join returning players Bryce Thompson, Jamyron Keller, and Connor Dow as Oklahoma State’s 2024–25 scholarship holders.
