The portal continues to be active for Purdue. Coach Odom’s staff added 4 more players over the weekend.

Breylon Charles comes from North Texas. The defensive end stands 6-4, 270-pounds. Charles racked up 30 tackles,5 sacks and 16 QB hurries last year.

Marques Easley is getting some buzz from Georgia. He was formally a 4 star recruit out of Illinois. At 6-5, 325 pounds, Easley is an imposing figure who will have 4 years of eligibility remaining.

Myles Slusher comes over from Colorado. Another former 4 star recruit, Slusher started at Arkansas before heading to Boulder. He’ll have 2 years left.

Luke Rabb is yet another Georgia transfer. A long snapper that was rated the 6th best in the nation out of high school, Rabb red shirted last season. He’s the 4th player to transfer from Georgia this month.

That brings Purdue’s total to 16 in the last 4 weeks, and we expect that number to continue to climb.
