add transfer
Purdue Fort Wayne announced a fifth transfer addition of the offseason in Gary native Ashton Williamson, who played the last two seasons at Florida International.
Williamson played in 59 games and started 41 for the Panthers, giving him at least two seasons of eligibility left. Over his two statistically similar campaigns at FIU, he averaged 7.5 points, 2.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals while shooting 38.9% from the field and 32.2% from 3-point range. He raised his free-throw percentage from 67.6% as a freshman to 81.8% as a sophomore this past season.
In a game against Horizon League foe IU Indy in 2024-25, he helped FIU to a 75-69 win with eight points on 3-for-5 shooting (2 for 2 from beyond the arc), four assists, two steals and a block in 23 minutes.
In high school, he led Gary 21st Century to back-to-back regional championships and had 29 points and nine assists in an 88-82 semistate loss to Blackhawk Christian in the final game of his career.
Williamson entered the transfer portal after his freshman season at FIU and originally committed to Iowa, but then returned to the Panthers.
The Mastodons officially announced the signings of their five transfers Thursday.
“I’m ecstatic about our 2026 spring recruiting class,” PFW coach Jon Coffman said in a statement. “Our program has been built on gym rats that love to play and are obsessed with their player development coupled with versatile skill sets. Our best players over my tenure have been ‘everyday guys’ that obsess with their daily resumes and raising the level of their teammates, and this class fits this mold!
“All five are versatile players that are a great fit for how we operate and how we play the game with pace and space. I am excited about our addition of size and skill, players that fill up a stat sheet and rebounding talent.”
