With the official early signing period around the corner, Purdue is closing out on a couple of official visitors. One in which you will be very familiar with and another who is looking to commit before early signing period, so 9 days left.
First and foremost, Purdue will host local product George Karlaftis this weekend. George, who has been at Purdue more in the last two seasons then most alumni, saved us for last so we can officially wrap him up.
As long as Jeff Brohm was staying, so was George and Jeff Brohm is staying. George is fresh off of a 3A Indiana state championship game and an outstanding senior season.
Just an update on George, he is still rated as a 4* football player and is top 100 in the nation according to every recruiting site. His senior year he had 106 total tackles with 56 tackles for a loss.
Yes, 56 tackles for a loss, which is just insane.
George will be enrolling early, so he is literally just a couple of weeks away from being a Boilermaker.

The other player we are hosting is in stat outside linebacker Cameron Williams from Andrean High School in Merriville, Indiana.
Cameron has essentially narrowed it down to Purdue or IU, as he visited IU officially last weekend and now Purdue this weekend. It helps that our top recruit will be there to guide him around a bit in George Karlaftis.
Williams would be a perfect fit for our “Leo” position, which is essentially a rush end. According to 247 Sports, Cameron is also a 4* prospect. At 6’3”, 205 pounds he is a bit thin right now, but that can easily be fixed at Purdue.
It appears this year he had around 60 tackles, including 16 for a loss. The questions has been eligibility and if he can get into Purdue or not. If he wants to come here, we need to find a way to get him in academically, as he can be an impact guy. For playing OLB, Williams runs a 4.49 forty yard dash, which is insane,
As of now, it looks like we have a couple of spots left open for this year’s recruiting class. Lets go ahead and get this filled out completely.
