WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue women's basketball head coach Katie Gearlds welcomed the first new signing ahead of the 2025-26 season with the addition of guard Taylor Feldman.
Feldman spent the last three years at Northern Arizona, where she was a unanimous First Team All-Big Sky selection last year.
"We're pumped to welcome Taylor to the Boilermaker family," Gearlds said. "She is a versatile guard who can impact the game with her scoring, passing and defensive skill sets. We knew from our first conversation with her that she should be a Boilermaker."
A native of Tustin, Calif., Feldman appeared in 101 games with 43 starts for the Lumberjacks. She averaged 8.8 points per game during her time in Flagstaff, Ariz., going 88-of-266 from behind the arc (33.1%) and shooting 38% from the floor and 80% at the line.

Feldman posted 29 games in double figures, highlighted by a 31-point outing at South Dakota in December. Feldman dropped 22 points on the road against Arizona in the first round of the WBIT.
