2017 Projection: Possible starter at cornerback
Cason was thrown to the fire last year. Purdue needed a second cornerback alongside Da’Wan Hunte and there was no clear-cut choice. Cason ended up winning the battle and starting most of the time. He played in 9 of 12 games and finished with 17 tackles and a pass breakup.
