Purdue has added a seventh verbal commitment to its 2026 recruiting class.

On Monday, the Boilermakers landed a pledge from Indianapolis offensive lineman James "Bam" Williams Jr., who attends Lawrence Central High School.

Williams made his announcement with a post on social media.

He's listed as a 6-foot-3, 275-pound interior offensive lineman.

Per 247Sports, he's a three-star prospect and is considered the No.

10 player from Indiana.

"1000% committed.

I'm already home!!!" Williams wrote on X.

"And extremely blessed." Williams also received offers from Appalachian State, Kent State, Miami (Ohio) and Northern Illinois, per 247Sports.

Williams becomes the second in-state player to commit to Purdue's 2026 class.
