Ayden Murray - Fr.
Shaker Heights, OH (Shaker Heights HS)
5'10", 168 pounds
Defensive Back
2024 Projection: Likely Redshirt

Murray is a preferred walk-on from Shaker Heights, Ohio that was both an offensive and defensive player in high school. He was an All-Conference selection twice and earned conference defensive player of the year honors during his career at Shaker Heights. The two-way standout totaled 35 tackles and an interception and added 13 catches for 189 yards and three scores in six games.

He is an almost certain redshirt this coming season.

Nick Levy - Jr.
Ashburn, VA (William & Mary)
5'10", 229 pounds
Long Snapper
2024 Projection: Starter

I am projecting Levy as the starter mostly because he is the onlt longsnapper on the current roster. He is a gift from the portal, where he started all 11 games last season at William & Mary. He was even a third team All-American at the FCS level, which is news to me because I didn't even know they gave All-America honors to long snappers. He has a total of 24 starts in his career and was a Freshman All-American in 2022. He also played linebacker in high school, so he can get down the field and make a tackle or two as well.

And 65% think Harris would be a good POTUS.

That's all you need to know.

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.

What say you BNI? Will this get the attention of more black voters?

The new hue and cry when the D isn't looking so hot.

This list is just a rough draft....read below and give us your own....
1. Braden Smith
2. Bruce Thornton
3. Ace Baldwin Jr.
4. Payton Sandfort
5. Dawson Garcia
6 TKR
7. Mack Mgbako
8. Malik Reanu
9. Owen Freeman
10. Julian Reece

There are many, many transfers and players from New teams that likely push many of these top 10 down a peg or two.....likely several pegs. Not to mention frosh that few know anything about. I likely totally MISSED a star or 2, just doing this off the top of my head....

But I think those top 2 should be 1 or 2 on most everyone's list. Love to have either to anchor my team.

I am sure 3-10+ can be moved up or down....as you feel. Notice, I think TKR is poised for a massive breakout year.

Someone that has studied these transfer guys and NEW teams can give us a WAY more complete list. @boilerzz or site guys prob could help us out with a better list....

Anyway....your thoughts....

Give it a catchy name, rotate between Indy and Lville, would be a great 1 day event with 2 great games.

Centerville head coach Brent Ullery chats with Boiler Upload about new Purdue offensive line commit Kuol Kuol.

That's what many Purdue fans are telling me. I can see it.
Will be very interesting how many 2025 recruits we sign.

fugg up together.
Trump and Chrisley, what a nice pair of gay-ish (you must love that) idiots.

Purdue's non-conference slate is a challenging one for a fourth straight year, but the Boilermakers have won 35 consecutive regular season non-conference games.

Caskenette had a fantastic final season in West Lafayette, as he batted .308 with 14 HR and 71 RBI, earning Third Team all-Big Ten honors.

Sterling Smith - So.
Indianapolis, IN (Cathedral HS)
6'1", 210 pounds
DEfensive Back
2024 Projection: Reserve

If you're going to get an in-state walk-on, a product of Cathedral is a good place to start. Smith won state titles with Cathedral as a sophomore and junior and finished is his career with 116 tackles, three interceptions, four forced fumbles, nine PBUs, 17 TFLs, two fumble recoveries and 211 return yards. He was also a wrestler for three seasons.

While he was a two-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting cycle he ended up at Holy Cross last season. He ended up starting nine games and finihsed with 36 tackles and two passes defended. His lone tackle for loss came at Boston College, a game where the Crusaders very nearly pulled off an upset against the FBS level foe. They lost 31-28 after fumbling inside the BC 30 on their final possession.

Smith is probably pretty low on the depth chart, but given that he has college experience he is not a bad player to have.

In our preview of Ohio State we state the very obvious: The Buckeyes are good at football.

For those that think Biden should be replaced, why wouldn’t he need replaced today? Meaning, if he is unfit for the election, why is he fit for office until Jan of ‘25?

Purdue has added Auburn to its non-conference slate for each of the next two years, beginning with a trip to Birmingham in December.

The Tigers will return the favor in 2025, when they come to town for the Indy Classic.

And claim this saved money! Now that's some great DEM logic for you.

Here's a tip ....no cards and send nonworking home. That saves a might more $ wouldn't you think???

⚠️Cards train them for handouts.
⚠️Cards & other benefits keep them here vs returning home.
⚠️ Cards make them lose motivation to find work.
⚠️ Participants have to sign they will use debit cards....as intended....yea right...lol


Note....I am actually pro immigration.......IF THEY ARE WORKING. Get them in the system and supporting SS. But to give them handouts.....drives me nuts. It is the opposite of what to do. Immigrants should.....WORK or GET OUT.

While Purdue football has picked up steam on the recruiting trail this month, Boiler Upload looks back at some Boilermaker coaches when they were recruits.

If true, I don’t think it’s a good move. It would be MUCH better for him to practice with & play against all-star-caliber guys than to be practicing vs rookies and G-League guys…
