Purdue Women’s Basketball: McKenna Layden Commits!

It came as little surprise when McKenna Layden announced her commitment to Katie Gearlds and the Boilermakers Monday evening. She will join her sister, Madison Layden, during her senior season in a couple of years in West Lafayette.

Like her sister, Layden is a tremendous all-around player and should be a big addition to Katie Gearlds’ squad for the class of 2023. As a sophomore, McKenna averaged 22.9 points, 6.1 assists, and 8.5 rebounds this past season. She was also a pest defensively with 3.5 steals to go along with 1.3 blocks per game.

As mentioned before, it seemed inevitable that McKenna would join her sister with the Boilermakers, but today she made that official.
