Devin Mockobee - Jr.
Boonville, IN (Boonville HS)
6', 200 pounds
Running Back
2024 Projection: Starter
You may have heard of this guy.
Mockobee enters this season looking for a 1,000 yard season, something that is a real possibility and it would be the first such season for a Purdue running back since Kory Sheets in 2008 and only the ninth such season overall. At 1,775 yards he is currently 18th on the career rushing list, and if he matches last season's total of 807 yards he would move into seventh place on the all-time list. A 1,000 yard season gets him to fifth and within striking distance of the all-time record if he returns for his senior season.
All this from a guy that essentially came out of nowhere. He didn't even play in the 2022 season opener against Penn State, but by the end of the season he was starting. He has six career games of at least 100 yards, and there should be a few more coming this year.
All in all, I expect a big year from Mockobee. His sophomore season saw his numbers take a slight dip, but mostly because Tyrone Tracy was so good. With Reggie Love III also in the backfield with him he should still have plenty of chances to have a great year.
