We have some surprise recruiting news tonight. Jeff Brohm was able to grab his 22nd member of the 2019 recruiting class, and it is a promising offensive lineman.
I'd like to announce that I am now committed to Purdue. It has been a very long process and I would like to thank everyone who invested time in me. @drwilliams131 @JeffBrohm pic.twitter.com/fP8GeIFKgq

Jornigan is a 6’4” 295 pounds offensive lineman from Cardinal Mooney HS in Youngstown, OH. Rivals lists him as a 3-star prospect. ESPN also lists him as a 3-star prospect, while 247 does the same. Kentucky, Ohio, and Purdue were his top choices, while Harvard, Minnesota, Pitt, Rutgers, and Yale were among his other offers. Many of his highlights can be found here.
Jornigan continues the point of emphasis Brohm has had on the lines in his recruiting. He is the fourth offensive lineman in the class of 2019 for us, and like most linemen at the FBS level, he’ll be a developmental prospect. He has the size to play early on, but it seems unlikely that he will need to. He can probably play tackle or guard for us. That versatility is also important.
By the scholarship grid I now have us with two open spots for this class, with the potential, as always, for attrition. We can take a maximum of 25 anyway.
