2016 Purdue Football Spring Game Rosters Set

On Wednesday afternoon the draft was held for Saturday's spring football game. There were some slight modifications this year. With only nine offensive linemen healthy thanks to the loss of Eric Swingler to an ACL tear several linemen will be playing both ways. All injured players, including Markus Bailey and Ja'Whaun Bentley, who are coming off of ACL tears, are not going to play.

In terms of the QB derby David Blough will head the Gold Team while Elijah Sindelar will lead the black team. The Black team gets Markell Jones while the Gold team gets D.J. Knox as their respective running backs. The rest of the lineups are as follows:
