Hadnot to Houston

Former Purdue Fort Wayne guard Corey Hadnot II, the leading scorer in the Horizon League this past season, will play his final season of eligibility for Houston, he told Field of 68.

Hadnot averaged 20.4 points on 52% shooting for the Mastodons in 2025-26, hitting 35.8% from beyond the arc and adding 3.5 assists per contest. His 654 points were third-most in PFW history and and second-most in the program’s Division I history, trailing only the 746 posted by Fort Wayne native Bryson Scott in 2017-18.

In addition to his offensive efforts, Hadnot averaged 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals, the latter total ranking third in the Horizon League. For his performance, Hadnot was named first-team all-conference, the third PFW guard to earn that distinction in the last two seasons.

He was considered the No. 22 shooting guard available in the portal and the 122nd-ranked player overall by 247 Sports. Houston has been to the Sweet 16 of seven NCAA Tournaments in a row.
