It seems like George Karlaftis, Purdue’s latest excellent defensive end, will be off to the NFL after this season. The good news is today Purdue got a potential replacement with the commitment of Brebeuf Jesuit DE Joe Strickland:
This is a very big pickup, as Strickland is a four-star recruit per both Rivals and 247. He chose Purdue over a pretty lengthy offer list. it also stems the tide a bit on Purdue missing out on some big in-state names. Indiana commitments are pretty salty about it on Twitter, which makes it even more fun.
