Wide receiver DeAngelo Yancey has never shied away from a challenge.
Yancey came into an ugly situation when he arrived in West Lafayette, Indiana as a three-star recruit out of Atlanta. He led the Purdue Boilermakers in receiving yards that season, but the program had a brutal season, finishing 1-11. After missing some time as a sophomore, Yancey came back to lead Purdue in receiving yards once again during both his junior and senior years, as he became the downfield focal point of the team’s high-volume passing game in his final season.
Yancey scored ten times and averaged over 19 yards per reception as a senior, posting a 16.
