Class of 2026 defensive lineman Kobe Cherry committed to Purdue on Monday.
The three-star recruit chose the Boilermakers over other finalists Indiana and Wisconsin. His offer sheet also included Louisville, Minnesota, Toledo and Washington.
247Sports ranks Cherry as the No. 1,357 player in the class of 2026, the No. 147 defensive lineman and the No. 21 recruit from the state of Indiana. The 6-foot-5 lineman only took an official visit to Purdue. Notably, the in-state Boilermakers had long been the prohibitive favorites to land his commitment.
He joins a Purdue class of 2026 that now ranks No. 35 nationally with 18 players committed. That class recently surpassed the Badgers’ group (No. 51) in the national rankings. That movement has occurred as Wisconsin has gone 10 days without a commitment.
The Badgers do already have two defensive linemen pledged to the class: Djidjou Bah and Arthur Scott. Bah’s status is worth monitoring, however, as he recently took an official visit to Missouri. Wisconsin may be tasked with extra work to retain his commitment.
