Purdue Spring Practices are right around the corner and it is never too early to start thinking about the 2 deep.
Today, I am going to focus on the offensive side of the ball - I will add some additional thoughts on at the end.
Quarterback:
- Aidan O’Connell - Senior
- Jack Plummer - Junior
Running Back:
- Zander Horvath - Senior
- King Doerue - Junior
Wide Receiver:
- Milton Wright - Junior
- Maliq Carr - Redshirt Freshman
Slot:
- Jackson Anthrop - Grad (6th year)
- T.J. Sheffield - Sophomore
Wide Receiver:
- David Bell - Junior
- Collin Sullivan - Redshirt Freshman
Tight End:
- Payne Durham - Junior
- Garrett Miller - Sophomore
Left Tackle:
- Cam Craig - Sophomore
- Eric Miller - Junior
Left Guard:
- Tyler Witt - Grad Transfer
- Kyle Jornigan - Sophomore
Center:
- Gust Hartwig - Sophomore
- Sam Garvin - Senior
Right Guard:
- D.J. Washington - Senior
- Spencer Holstege - Sophomore
Right Tackle:
- Greg Long - Grad Transfer
- Will Bramel - Junior
Thoughts:
- Quarterback is a toss up I really think it should be an open competition with the four returning guys, O’Connell and Plummer seem like the front runners. But I would love to see Mike Alaimo stake his claim.
- Zander Horvath is back for his senior year. I have the bruiser inked in as the starter with Doerue as the change of pace back.
- We are not short of weapons at wide receiver at all. The slot starting spot will be a battle between Anthrop and Sheffield. Early on, I can see Anthrop starting with being the older of the two.
- Offensive line is a puzzle. Two pieces I am confident in is Greg Long at Right Tackle and Gus Hartwig at Center. Gus will be a NFL offensive lineman when he leaves Purdue. You would think Tyler Witt starts as well with being a grad transfer. Left Tackle is up in the air, but Cam Craig should be able to handle the duties.
