14 Days to Purdue Football: Yanni Karlaftis

When I was at Big Ten Media Days a few weeks ago one of the most important questions I had for George Karlaftis was about his excitement to play in a multi-Karlafti defense. He enjoyed the term “multi-Karlafti”, and I think Purdue fans will enjoy seeing what happens with the two this year.

I think Yanni starts the year as a top reserve, but as a four-star true freshman there is a lot of anticipation about what he can do.
