Two big commitments, a cool customer and an assistant with boundless juice \u2026 it\u2019s time for the 3-2-1. Three things learned. Two questions. One prediction.<\/p>\n
1 \u2013 <\/strong>Purdue augmented its wideout unit<\/p>\n It\u2019s thought Purdue felt it still had a shot to land a commitment from JC wideout Jayden Dixon-Veal <\/a><\/strong>even after he pledged to Oregon State following his recent visit to West Lafayette. Sure, enough, days after Dixon-Veal committed to the Beavers, he de-committed and flipped to Purdue last week.<\/p>\n The Boilermakers are getting a starting-caliber receiver who lacks size (5-10, 170) but is quick in and out of his cuts and purportedly a good route-runner with quickness.<\/p>\n 2 \u2013<\/strong> Hudson Card <\/a><\/strong>is a cool customer<\/p>\n Got a chance to visit with Purdue\u2019s No. 1 signal-caller this weekend before he conducted a camp for kids at West Lafayette High School on Saturday. And, each time I speak to Card, I\u2019m impressed by his calm, cool manner. He comes off as very easy-going and affable \u2026 unflappable.<\/p>\n There was a reason Ryan Walters<\/a><\/strong> made it Job No. 1 to get Card out of the portal after he was hired. And, Walters got his man. Card proceeded to excel in the spring, earning effusive praise.<\/p>\n If he\u2019s given time to work and can stay healthy, Card could end up being one of the most underrated portal additions for any program in the nation. No doubt, Purdue needs Card to be a star. <\/p>\n 3 \u2013 Luke Williams<\/a><\/strong> was a big get<\/p>\n Purdue received its biggest commitment yet when four-star safety Luke Williams committed to the Boilermakers last week. It was a huge get for Walters and his staff. The Naperville, Ill., product could be the centerpiece of the coming secondaries. <\/p>\n Williams also was the fourth DB to commit to Purdue in the Class of 2024, which numbers nine at the moment. The other defensive backs who have pledged: Jo\u2019Ziah Edmond<\/a><\/strong>, D\u2019Mon Marable<\/a><\/strong> and Hudauri Hines<\/a><\/strong>. This position is shaping up strong.<\/p>\n
