Bakyne Coly - Jr.
Farmington, MI (Lawrtence Tech)
6'7", 280 pounds
Offensive Line
2024 Projection: Reserve
Coly is a very interesting prospect for this coaching staff. He did not play football in high school. He was primarily a basketball player before going to NAIA Lawrence Tech and taking up football. He has the size and frame to be a tackle, however, so he transferred to Purdue before last season.
He did not see any action last year, but he was a starter at Lawrence Tech and played for two seasons. Being so new to football he is obviously a project, but Purdue has the depth to take on a project or two.
He is also an older player. From a newspaper clipping I found he was a senior in HS at Farmington HS in Michigan in 2019.
