24 Days to Purdue Basketball: Grady Eifert

2018-19: Key Reserve/ Defensive Specialist

Grady Eifert didn’t just set career-highs in every measuring category last year during his junior campaign, he obliterated them.

Eifert came to West Lafayette as a preferred walk-on. When scholarships freed up, he was rewarded one. But it was never guaranteed his role would be more than mop up duty in blow outs.

In his first two seasons, Eifert played 72 minutes, scored 22 points, and grabbed 8 rebounds. He played 300 minutes last season.
