WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue senior guard Jayla Smith has announced she'll enter the transfer portal. Smith announced that through X, formerly known as Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.
Smith will enter the transfer portal as a grad transfer after playing just two games and averaging 3.5 points.
She missed her final 27 games. Purdue athletics declined comment on why she didn't play.
Smith previously was a rotational guard who seemed primed to earn more playing time after averaging 7.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 19.0 minutes as a sophomore in 2022-23.
