I see we received a crystal ball pick for Winston Berglund from Carmel.
Winston Berglund
- Thread starter Esox54547
- Start date
Word. And Michigan wanted him enough to visit so he’s probably not terrible unless anyone can just visit on their own
Or David berg.. then we can play Georgia. Because he’ll really know how to … Cover some dogs 😂😂
I was born in 77… thanks for having all the wild fun before Purdue became lame relatively speaking. I’ve heard the stories
Very good pick. Reportedly Harbaugh personally offered him to come to Michigan
Different position. Abrams came in as a DB. he is coming in as the hybrid nickel that Graham plays and may eat his way into a LB
I ate myself into a plus size pet sitter
Kid is a hitter! He's going to be fun to watch.
Yes, but he also has great form when tackling. Keeps his head up and wraps up. He doesn’t miss too often.
Same thing Tiller said about Stu as a Freshman, so sounds promising
Would love the Stu comparison to come true.
This does make a Good Friday Great!!! Noticed that there is another Carmel player that Winston may be able to help land at Purdue.

I remember when Stu was being recruited. It was a pretty big deal here and on Steve’s Gridiron forum. Good times. Stuuuuu
Love that this is a in state kid that grew up a Purdue fan
I get the comparison. But Stu was a free safety. Crazy range. Easily the best free safety Purdue has had since that time...
Not like Stu from everything that’s said. More like Graham. Stu was Graham’s size and could do anything Graham could do while also playing centerfield deep. Where as you can watch Graham’s freshman year and see why he got moved to that 5th guy in a 4-2-5 role.
Hopefully can get his teammate Heldt to hop on board.
Watched a few minutes of Will Heldt's highlights and agree, get him onboard ASAP. Long, quick, & strong enough to make plays.
Will Heldt

Check his speed first. With those edge instincts, I’d rather him be 265-275 if his motor is good enough. Making diving tackles before RB’s hit the edge and break for long gains is a difference maker. A good bull rush like George Karlaftis can be disruptive as well. If he doesn’t have that kind of motor, then OT. Matt Light was a TE coming in not DE, but did quite well for himself. Not sure what Kelly Butler was like coming in. If I recall correctly, he was ready to go without a position change.
If Mark Hagen is recruiting him, I suspect he stays on Defense, and coach Hagen is sharing a vision that should serve him well.
His older sister just announced she's transferring from South Carolina to finish her swim career at Purdue.
He's been doing a great job recruiting for us
