Notes:

  • Welcome back Shane Mikesky. The junior receiver has always been on the fringes of the depth chart, but hasn't been able to break through other than a handful of catches. Due to injuries he is now in the rotation. As a hurdler on the track team he has good speed. I remember seeing him several times in high school and he is a legitimate deep threat.This could be a good development for him going forward.
  • Robert Gregory replaces Austin Logan behind Landon Feichter.
  • Leroy Clark continues to be in front of Antoine Lewis, meaning only three seniors are now starting on defense.
  • Myles Norwood is also now getting more run at receiver due to injuries. Between Norwood, Gregory, and Hart Purdue has three freshmen getting looks.
  • Feichter and Norwood are still expected to be on punt returns
  • Hart is now officially on kickoff returns along with Mostert. He replaces Hunt, and did a decent job against Wisconsin.
