It’s official, @SuperManChuck77 is a Boilermaker! #BoilerUp #LetsPlayFootball pic.twitter.com/f2FiAJzwk4
— Purdue Football (@BoilerFootball) December 20, 2017
Name: Charles Allen
Position/Size: Offensive Lineman(Guard), 6’4” 300 Pounds
Ranking: 3*
Other Offers: Miami (OH), Western Kentucky
Impact: Don’t be concerned by his lack of FBS offers. Charles was one of our first commits for the 2018 class, giving us his verbal back in June. He was clear that Purdue was the school he was choosing to go to, so many schools backed off.
Charles is the type of lineman we need here at Purdue. He is a mean SOB. While he played Tackle in high school, I think his skill set will suit him much better for playing guard at Purdue.
At 6’4”, 300 Pounds, we could play him at tackle, but Coach Brohm has a couple of guys that are longer and more athletic coming in to play tackle in Jimmy McKenna and Eric Miller.
Charles is a moose too, he benches over 325 pounds and can deadlift over 400 pounds. He will be a mainstay on our offensive line for years to come.
Take a peek at his highlights below.
Welcome aboard, Charles. Boiler Up!
