Purdue lands 2026 three-star running back Izaiah Wright

Another piece to the 2026 recruiting class puzzle is now in place for the Boilermakers. Three-star Carlson (Mich.) running back Izaiah Wright announced his commitment to Purdue on Tuesday, on the heels of his weekend visit to West Lafayette.

Wright's announcement was the second of the day for the Boilermakers, who also landed four-star quarterback Corin Berry on Tuesday afternoon.

Wright came out of the visit with a new official visit locked in with the Boilermakers, before ultimately committing to Barry Odom, Lamar Conard and company. The Michigan native chose the Boilermakers over offers from the likes of Wisconsin, Indiana, Tennessee, Missouri, Minnesota, Northwestern, Pitt, Michigan State, West Virginia, Cincinnati and others.
