Purdue at Maryland: Depth Charts

Last week there was not a lot of movement on the official depth chart that was published Monday afternoon, but there was movement by game time. Purdue went into the game with a pair of new starters at tackle and with a new safety ahead of a senior starter. That tells us how secure these depth charts are.

With that in mind, let’s look at the defense, with changes highlighted in bold from last week:

Defense

DT 54 Jake Replogle, Sr., 6-5, 275, Centerbille, Ohio

59 Langston Newton, 5th, 6-3, 278, Indianapolis, Ind.

NG 18 Eddy Wilson, So., 6-4, 300, Pontiac, Mich.

66 Alex Criddle, Fr., 6-4, 309, Broken Arrow, Okla.

DE 95 Evan Panfil, Sr., 6-5, 270, New Lenox, Ill.

56 Wyatt Cook, R-Fr., 6-2, 240, Westminster, Md.

DE 45 Austin Larkin, Jr., 6-3, 259, University City, Mo.

or 13 Gelen Robinson, Jr., 6-1, 275, Schererville, Ind.

Will 21 Markus Bailey, R-Fr., 6-1, 235, Columbus, Ohio

42 Andy James Garcia, 5th, 6-0, 223, Miami, Fla.

Mike 4 Ja’Whaun Bentley, Jr., 6-2, 250, Glenarden, Md.

16 Garrett Hudson, Jr., 6-2, 245, Tallahassee, Fla.

Buck 36 Danny Ezechukwu, Jr., 6-2, 240, Lithonia, Ga.

29 Jimmy Herman, 5th, 6-4, 240, Carmel, Ind.

LCB 2 Da’Wan Hunte, Jr., 5-9, 188, Miami, Fla.

24 Tim Cason, So., 5-11, 195, Clarkston, Mich.

SS 3 Leroy Clark, Sr., 5-10, 197, Miami, Fla.

7 Robert Gregory, 5th, 6-1, 225, Chicago, Ill.

FS 27 Navon Mosley, Fr., 6-0, 181, Bloomfield, Mich.

26 C.J. Parker, Jr., 6-2, 205, Menifee, Calif.

RCB 6 Myles Norwood, Jr., 6-0, 174, Arlington, Texas

23 Josh Hayes, Fr., 6-0, 181, Indianapolis, Ind.

It is the same as last week’s, but Parker ended up starting in place of Clark at safety. Larkin also limped off and Robinson played a significant amount. The return of Hunte was huge for Purdue last week, as he was in on both goal line stops late in the game.

Now, onto the offense:

Offense

WR 7 DeAngelo Yancey, Sr., 6-2, 205, Atlanta, Ga.

21 Anthony Mahoungou, Jr., 6-3, 210, Paris, France

WR 18 Cameron Posey, 5th, 6-1, 192, Boca Raton, Fla.

10 Gregory Phillips, Jr., 6-0, 201, Lithonia, Ga.

LT 75 Jalen Neal, Jr., 6-8, 315, Tempe, Ariz.

70 Jordan Roos, 5th, 6-4, 301, Celina, Texas

LG 72 Jason King, 5th, 6-4, 310, Little Rock, Ark.

55 Michael Mendez, R-Fr., 6-4, 305, Los Fresnos, Texas

C 53 Kirk Barron, So., 6-2, 300, Mishawaka, Ind.

55 Michael Mendez, R-Fr., 6-4, 305, Los Fresnos, Texas

RG 70 Jordan Roos, 5th, 6-4, 301, Celina, Texas

55 Michael Mendez, R-Fr., 6-4, 305, Los Fresnos, Texas

RT 66 Cameron Cermin, 5th, 6-5, 323, College Station, Texas

70 Jordan Roos, 5th, 6-4, 301, Celina, Texas

TE 88 Cole Herdman, So., 6-4, 251, Leesburg, Va.

89 Brycen Hopkins, R-Fr., 6-5, 239, Nashville, Tenn.

WR 5 Domonique Young, Sr., 6-3, 215, Los Angeles, Calif.

3 Bilal Marshall, 5th, 6-2, 201, Miami, Fla.

QB 11 David Blough, So., 6-1, 200, Carrollton, Texas

2 Elijah Sindelar, R-Fr., 6-4, 236, Princeton, Ky.

RB 8 Markell Jones, So., 5-11, 210, Columbus, Ind.

25 Tario Fuller, R-Fr., 6-0, 192, Sugar Hill, Ga.

or 37 Brian Lankford-Johnson, Fr., 6-0, 195, St. Paul, Minn.

Neal and Cermin are now listed as the starters at the tackle spots with Roos being the first up to slide outside if one gets hurt. That would move Mendez into his guard spot. Matt McCann seems like he won’t be ready for Saturday, and No one knows the status of Martesse Patterson. Patterson missed last week because of “personal” reasons, was not at the game at all, and Hazell has said “We are taking care of matters day-to-day”. So, we have no idea what it is with him. It could be anything from a death in the family, to academic trouble, to him being taken hostage by ISIS and Hazell is negotiating his release.

It should be noted that Bilal Marshall is coming off of a career day of five catches for 82 yards and a touchdown. He also had a pass attempt on a fake punt and ran a wildcat snap.
