Not knowing he was even a possibility for Purdue, I’ve heard good things about him as a high school player.

Oh, a wise guy.

That region of the state, including Westfield.

He's a candidate to get serious playing time in the future

Welcome, young Mr. Fine. Seems to really embrace the opportunity.

what is a preferred walk on anyway?
"No you're not getting a scholy, but we think you are "special"???

Essentially, guaranteed a roster spot but no athletic aid at this time....it's an opportunity to earn a scholarship down the road, though.

Not that long ago, a preferred walk-on for multiple seasons for Purdue earned a scholarship and played a key role for the Boilers - none other than Grady Eifert. Now, that doesn't happen frequently.....but....you never know for sure.

We should take a look at his teammate named Justin Curry, too, if we haven't already.
