12 Days Until Purdue Football: Leland Smith
Coming from Fullerton College in California, Leland Smith, may not be the flashiest transfer pickup for Purdue, but he’s an important addition, nonetheless. The Houston native spent his freshman season at the JUCO where he hauled in 26 catches for 655 yards and 9 TDs in 9 games. The biggest of those games was a nuclear performance where he had 9 catches for 212 yards and 3 TDs. Smith was all-conference and has moved up to D1 where he may have a golden opportunity. Purdue has a lot of unproven commodities at WR despite an increased amount of talent. Leland Smith factors into that and at the very least, he can provide depth at a critical position. His big frame also can allow him to contribute on special teams. That may be the only consistent path to seeing the field this season, but getting on that green grass in some way is the goal either way.
13 Days Until Purdue Football: Koy Beasley & Jaron Tibbs
Beasley, a consensus 4* recruit, was the highest rated member of Purdue’s 2023 recruiting class for a reason; the dude can fly. I’m talking leave a flaming trail behind like Dolorean in Back to The Future fast. He rean a 4.41 at the Ohio Under Armor camp and hit a top speed of 21.7 miles an hour. It’s rare to see a legit 4.4 speed from a recruit. Mainly guys are running in the 4.6 range (still incredibly fast for the general population) and the wide receiver coach give them a .2 second discount. Beasley has legit track speed. He holds the Lasalle High School record for the 100, 4x100 and 4x200 and has a couple shiny first place state medals in the 4x100 (seeing as how he holds the school record, I’m going to assume he anchored both teams).
