Former Purdue star Trey Kaufman-Renn, who was granted a temporary restraining order on Wednesday for a sixth season of eligibility, has entered the transfer portal, sources told ESPN.
The 6-foot-9 power forward developed into one of the best big men in the country during his five seasons at Purdue. He redshirted as a freshman due to injury but started 112 games in his final three seasons with the Boilermakers, breaking out in 2024-25 by averaging 20.1 points and 6.5 rebounds. Kaufman-Renn took a step back offensively as a senior last season but improved on the glass, posting 14.2 points and 8.3 rebounds per contest.
Kaufman-Renn was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 59th pick of June's NBA draft, but he never signed a contract despite playing five NBA summer league games with the team.
In late August, however, Kaufman-Renn filed a motion seeking a TRO against the NCAA for another season of eligibility. His argument centered around his redshirt season, saying he would not have used it under the new NCAA five-for-five age-based eligibility model and played only four seasons instead of five.
Kaufman-Renn being granted a TRO follows a long list of favorable court decisions for student-athletes in other states for an additional year of eligibility, although he's the first to pursue a sixth year of eligibility. An Indiana circuit court issued a TRO last week to a group of student-athletes that included Indiana football stars Stephen Dailey and Kellan Wyatt and former Miami big man Malik Reneau.
