Arak McDuffie taking his first official visit to Purdue. Boilermakers lead for his services too.

Would make sense for Parks decommitting if we plan on taking McDuffie instead. Simply swapping them out plus McDuffie is rated higher.

Did it say when he’s visiting?

He was at the Minnesota game this year. Looks like a beast in my opinion.

 

[PurdueTiger]

Thanks.This is good news.

Anyone know his current size?

Anyone know his current size?

He's listed at 6'5 , 241. But from the picture of his unofficial visit last month, he looks a lot bigger.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

247Sports currently lists him as a 100% chance of committing to us. Take that for what it is worth.

According to HUDL, he is currently 6'4 240 with a 4.72 40 yard dash. Has the body to add needed weight and hopefully increased flexibility/speed around the edge.

Watching his film from HUDL, I see a few things:
1. Uses his hands very well to keep the OL at distance and uses that distance to be able to make plays.
2. Has a good rip move to the outside during a pass rush. Used that move frequently and didn't appear to have any other moves (didn't see highlights of a bull rush or a swim).
3. His hips are a little stiff but that can be improved upon once on campus. He might end up being a DT similar to Gelen Robinson.
4. Uses good leverage when initiating contact with the OL most times which allows him to gain the advantage when holding blocks to make a play at the line or down the line of scrimmage.
5. Good effort throughout the play.
6. Projects mostly as a DE but possibly DT if he bulks up to near 290-300 pounds in Holt's scheme. Does not project in to the Ram position (stand up DE/LB) as he does not appear to have the lateral quickness needed.
7. A very good player Purdue can use as depth in his first year and a potential 3 year starter given a full year of strength and conditioning along with selective snaps and packages in his freshman year.

So you’re saying we have a chance....

I also think he may end up a DT.

I was at this Trinity/Male Game (2 kids at Male). That entire Trinity DL is amazing. Totally destroyed the Male O-line.

He supposedly has a lot of work to do in the academic end of things to be eligible for next year.

How many scholarships are we over right now

Seems like Brohm loves that school. Hopefully Purdue keeps getting players from there for years to come.

So is he still on campus today?

No. Just is scheduled for his first official to Purdue. I believe it’s December 15th weekend.

Yes, right in the middle of bowl preparation so that he can get a sense of the coaching staff, players, and practice schedule. He will also be able to tour the facilities while the team is there.

 

[LonestarBoilerFan]

Copy that. I miss understood and thought he was on campus already. Thanks for the info. I will be hoping for a committment feom him.

Because thats his Alma Mater.

Doesn't hurt that his dad still coaches there. Nice way to build and maintain a pipeline to recruits.
